Fontconfig patterns have support for that. For rxvt-unicode, which
uses separate X resources for font, boldFont, italicFont et cetera
I use this as one of my fallbacks:
*font: xft:CODE2002:pixelsize=14
*boldFont: xft:CODE2002:pixelsize=14:embolden=true
*italicFont: xft:CODE2002:pixelsize=14:matrix=1 0.2 0 1
*boldItalicFont: xft:CODE2002:pixelsize=14:embolden=true:matrix=1 0.2 0 1
Fontconfig's /etc/fonts/conf.avail/90-synthetic.conf is supposed to
enable that matrix if an oblique font is requested but only roman is
found, and also to enable embolden when the request weight is more
than medium but the returned font is <= medium.
It works for simple libxft apps such as xfd(1):
:; xfd -fa Inconsolata:slant=Oblique
:; xfd -fa Inconsolata:weight=Bold
:; xfd -fa Inconsolata:weight=Bold:slant=Oblique
provided that you have 90-synthetic.conf linked into /etc/fonts/conf.d
(and thus enabled).
A test shows that the embolden part of that does work in Emacs, but that
the obliquing does not.
It should be fixable, though. I'd suggest M-x report-emacs-bug.
