There is only a single typeface choice in the client tools.
If you know the target's technique for handling "bold on" and "bold off" you could include those in the generating expression, for example
svBoldON <-- Char(27) : "[5"
svBoldOFF <-- Char(27) : "[0"
Expression: "I am very " : svBoldON : "emphatic" : svBoldOFF : " about this".
But beware that such sequences are very terminal/printer specific.
A better, though more complex, approach would be to get the values out of something like a termcap database.
