OTF is the future, frankly: figuring out related fonts in a family and how they vary can be an incredible kludge with TTF (fontconfig literally has to guess possible font names). It's quite possible the names of the bold variants etc of the TTF font you're using are not one of the ones that's being guessed at. OTF has a reliable way to figure this stuff out programmatically.
