how to set x-axis and y-axis of a plot as log scales in bold with latex interpreter?

I would like to set the axis numbers of a plot in bold in latex font using the log scale.
I can set the axis numbers bold in latex font, but without using the log scale. When using the log scale setting, the bold setting is not taken into account.
ax = gca;
ax.XAxis.TickLabelInterpreter = 'latex';
ax.XAxis.TickLabelFormat = '\\textbf{%g}';
ax.XAxis.Scale = 'log';
Here is the code I am trying to use.

I had the same issue. A temporary solution (far from robust) is to specify the names on the x- or y-axis as such:
set(gca,'YTick',[1 2 3],'YTickLabel',{'\bfseries{1}','\bfseries{2}','\bfseries{3}'}...
,'FontSize',17,'FontName','Times','FontAngle','Italic'...
,'TickLabelInterpreter','Latex','FontWeight','Bold')
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
How about these:
ax = gca;
ax.XAxis.FontWeight='bold';
ax.XAxis.Scale = 'log';

Thanks for this suggestion,
Unfortunatly, this bold setting is also not taken into account when using the latex interpreter:
ax = gca;
ax.XAxis.TickLabelInterpreter = 'latex';
ax.XAxis.FontWeight ='bold';
ax.XAxis.Scale = 'log';
You don't need latex if you do it this way. Follow my suggestion above.
But then, do you have a way to convert the font into latex? Sorry if there was some misunderstanding, but the latex font is a requirement for me.
FontWeight is ignored when Interpreter is Latex
