Where do you see a problem?  term->option() does not actually *do*
anything; it just loads some fields in the terminal data structures.
The only driver I am a little uneasy about is svg, which clears a
pointer to embedded fonts via SVG_local_reset.  I need to test whether
this matters or not.

Now whether changing the default font actually works inside a
multiplot is another question. For some terminals it does, but others 
that I tried do not recheck the default font setting soon enough for it to
affect the subsequent plot. Instead it gets applied to the one after that.  
I'm not sure how much work it would be to fix this.
