Working with the online example:  
[https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Cxx/Utilities/DetermineActorType/](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-examples/site/Cxx/Utilities/DetermineActorType/)

When I use the following, I don’t see that the font is drawn bold.

```
cubeAxesActor->GetLabelTextProperty(0)->SetBold(true);

```

I’ve tested this with various font and background colors. To my eyes, SetBold(true) has no effect.
