12.04 unity bold font

[pete1977x]

how can you make your desktop icons with a BOLD font???

As you're using Ubuntu 12.04, you can download and install MyUnity from the software center. Once installed, navigate to the Fonts tab and change the various fonts as you want. I think the one you're looking to is the Desktop Font. Just change it to, if you're using the Ubuntu font, Ubuntu Bold.
I hope it helps you.
