Sounds like the skew was good enough this time. For future reference Truetype fonts do have seperate fonts files for each variation. Usually a regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. Sometimes there's more variations (ie: demi, thin, etc...). Sometimes there's just the single font file and you have to make up the bold/italic, etc... by methods like you used here.
When people use word processors or page layout programs they always are presented with bold and italic buttons they can click. If the font doesn't have the other variations then that program simply makes the regular font look bold or italic using similar techniques to what you used. High end graphics programs often don't have those faux bold and italic modes built in, so you either need to use fonts with multiple files, or do the faux bold/italic yourself manually.
