Automatic I think, whatever 'automatic' means!

This is the font I copied:

DejaVuSansMono.ttf

And there is this one too:

DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf

... but I never touched it.  When I select my 'Test.ttf' font, it 
doesn't complain that a bold version is missing, or anything, it looks 
identical in every way except for the slightly narrower space.  Should I 
try copying the 'Bold' font too?
