The current line width+color is used. As I noted above, my 
intent was that eventually we could add additional properties
to "set style textbox".

Yes. That is what I meant by "text margin".  There's a
place-holder for it in the terminal code, but I was interested
in hearing opinions as to whether this should be a global
setting or something that is specified separately for each label.
The latter would require adding data fields to the text_label
structure.
