What exactly do you want?  Make a TTF outline bolder?  This isn't
supported since it is non-trivial (volunteers welcome to implement
that).  Applying a transformation matrix you can only
slant/rotate/distort the font.

A brute-force method is to print the produced pixel image slightly
offset multiple times.

Selecting a bold font from a series of fonts (if you mean that) should
be done (at least) one level higher than FreeType.
