No it is not carried with the strings.

This is correct.  You would have to create a partial path in 1 font, and
append it to a partial path in the second font.
A somewhat simpler way, is to create a procedure that takes a string,
and looks for some escape sequence in the string.  If it is found,
then isolate a command code, and execute a procedure to change the
fonts.  This is the way most printer emulators written in postscript
would work.  It is a bit slower, but allows you to mix fonts freely.
