set title "Big Bold Italic Font" font "Times Bold Italic,16"

I had to look at the code to figure this out.  The whitespace in front
of the words "bold" and/or "italic" is currently required, but probably
shouldn't be.  It is not case sensitive.

These details are correct only for the svg terminal.
Someone was working on adding bold/italic support to all terminals
in a systematic way, but I seem to have lost track of who that was and
what progress they made.
