`bf (as `sf and other friends) are _not_ synonyms for FBF of FSF and
such.

The Manual says:
  3.3 Font Mappings

  These mappings insert font descriptions such as: \textsf{<++>}<++> with
  the cursor left in place of the first placeholder (the <++> characters).

  Mnemonic:

      first letter is always F (F for font)
          next 2 letters are the 2 letters describing the font.

          Example: Typing FEM in insert-mode expands to \emph{<++>}<++>.

          Just like environment mappings, you can visually select an area
          and press `sf to have it enclosed in: \textsf{word} or

          {\sffamily
          line
          }

          depending on character-wise or line-wise selection. 


Thus you have to use FBF during typing to insert \textbf{}, and `bf to
apply the same _after_ typing the text to a visually selected part of the
text.


happy vimming,
