Hi,

Give a "tput bold" as the statement before ur printf statement
After printf statement if u no longer want the font to be bold , u can revert back to default settings by "tput sgr0"

Check tput manual too ... tput provides a lot of text manipulations like making it bold, blinking, highlitimg, placing the cursor in a particular postion etc.

Thanks,

SNS

I think he wants to do it inside C. The ANSI escape sequences will do what you want.
Code:
  char ESC=27;
  printf("%c[1m",ESC);  /*- turn on bold */
  printf("%c[0m",ESC); /* turn off bold */
