Please add bold, italic and bold italic to OpenDyslexic Mono #46

Why?

I'd love to use that awesome font with all my IDEs (Xcode, IntelliJ IDEA, Goland), text editors (mostly SubEthaEdit) and of course the Terminal.app

Since code highlighting in those applications use different font types to somewhat distinguish the purpose (simple comment vs. rich Markdown documentation, common console output vs. debugger output) it would be awesome to simply exchange, say "SF Mono Bold" with "OpenDyslexic Mono Bold".

What?

I tried different colors, which does not work that good for me. Also simply using another OpenDyslexic font for those type of information did not work well, since I got used to monospaced fonts

Same here. I am using OpenDyslexicMono on emacs, but not to have italics is something that I regret everyday.

query - do the italic/bold fonts have to take the same horizontal space as the monospaced text?

Yes, otherwise it becomes a mess in terminals when mixing them.
