I've tried OS/2 PM terminal, and it still works -- it is not touched by the
patch. This terminal, 'set term pm enha' has an independent implementation
of postscript enhanced features in gclient.c:ParseText() for years.

Would there be some profits for this terminal if it uses your new scheme?
Can you make a patch for it? (I can try to test it.)

I just wonder: would not it be possible to need less new API functions? For
example, to pass some structure of parameters, and call the same API several
time for slightly different purposes. I remember the discussion here few
years ago, that there are too many API there ... and some could be grouped
together, and those for text properties are good candidates.


BTW, there is a small bug:

set term x11 enha
set title '{/*10 x_2}'
  ... it shifts subscript too much down
