In some overheads, I&#39;d like all bold-faced font to appear in a given color,<br>
say red.  How do I set this up, so that {\bf some text} will display &quot;some<br>
text&quot; in red?<br>

Fonts and colors are unrelated properties (and always will be in context). The way to go is abstraction:<br>
<br>
\definestartstop[important][color=red,style=bold]<br>
<br>
test {\important test} or \important{test} test ...<br>
<br>
