I'm happy to create a PR, but I don't know where to start.

The \boldsymbol command is not currently supported.

It needs to be added to the parser around here (there is a bit of doc in the parser folder to explain what this does, but essentially it should be the same as for \overline) https://github.com/Kolaru/MathTeXEngine.jl/blob/9708b1545645d41dc33355dc19d262d0efd30eab/src/parser/commands_registration.jl#L65

Then, the logic needs to be added to the layout system in the tex_layout function. Here is the corresponding part for the \overline command. https://github.com/Kolaru/MathTeXEngine.jl/blob/9708b1545645d41dc33355dc19d262d0efd30eab/src/engine/layout.jl#L149

For \boldsymbol, we need to look at the font files to understand where and how to grab the correct bold symbol. If we are lucky it's sufficient to just get the same glyph from the bold font.
