In computer (or any printing) lingo - where did the terms "bold" and "highlight" come from?

Asked by NewZen (3502points) November 25th, 2009

And come to mean what they do; Printing. typeset in boldface. Highlight: To mark (important passages of text) with a usually fluorescent marker as a means of memory retention or for later reference.

Thanks Jerubas.
