How to display string variables as bold text with gnuplot for Windows

To display a title in bold face is simple: just set title "{/:Bold <title>}"

When the title is not plain text, but a string variable... that does not work.

I've searched "face" and "set term" in the manual for getting some hint, but what they call 'face' therein, seems to be what is commonly called "font" (Arial, for example). Besides, does there exist one command so as to make all text bold (title, tics and labels)?

I guess there are at least two ways:

reset session
myTitle = "This is my title in bold"
set title sprintf("{/:Bold %s}",myTitle)
plot x

or explicitely setting the bold version of the font if it is available

reset session
myTitle = "This is my title in bold"
set title myTitle font "Arial Bold,10"
plot x
