It seem to me, all answers are outside Euphoria. I look for Euphoria instruction or function or procedure like
sequence xyz = "myfont.ttf" newfont (xyz) -- Change font to myfont.ttf
I was hope that there would be something in Euphoria to do that.
The post above showed one way:
lbl = create(GtkLabel,"font=Monospace Regular 36") -- change font to 36 point monospace regular
AFAIK, there is no way for a program to change the font in a terminal once that terminal is open, and certainly no way to mix font sizes or styles inside a single terminal.
That's why most people who use computer prefer to use a GUI (Graphic User Interface). It makes those sorts of things easy.
Really old (no longer used) computers which had just a DOS interface could use graphics to display custom characters, which you usually had to design yourself, but those were awkward to program, nobody would want to use something like that now, when there are much easier ways to do things.
