Print the corresponding ANSI control sequence to turn on bold mode 
before you print the text, then print the ANSI control sequence to turn 
off bold mode.

See https://www.linux.org/threads/ansi-codes-and-colorized-terminals.11706/.

Example:

with Ada.Characters.Latin_1;
with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Be_Bold
is
    use Ada.Characters, Ada.Text_IO;
begin
    Put ("This is a very ");
    -- Bold mode:
    Put (Latin_1.ESC); Put ("[1m");
    Put ("bold");
    -- Normal mode:
    Put (Latin_1.ESC); Put ("[0m");
    Put_Line (" program.");
end Be_Bold;
