    I see you're using the paint gem which should be able to style text in bold and other attributes using ANSI escape sequences. While the SGR table_parameters) says 11–19 allow you to chose "alternate fonts" I would be surprised if this changed the typeface used to draw characters on the screen. Generally this is done through terminal-specific settings.
