Use a font that represents bold, is the best way.

The alturnative is to draw the text, and then merge multiple copys of
the text with slight differences in position (say X+1 pixel) Though it
would not be as good as a proper bold font for the font family you are
using.

Outline fonts can be generated in simular ways.
