we have discussed this topic last week in brussels with raphaël from
the tigre, and it seems that most user can't do much with styles...
but what would be really nice to have, is a way to manually define
which variant of each font is bold (for you) and italic.

the importer (and the ctrl-b/ctrl-i shortcuts and the b [b] [i]) would
then use those bindings.

what do you think about it?
