[R] Change font-face in title

[Albin Blaschka]

Dear List,

Is there a possibility to change the font-face for a part of the title 
of a plot?

For example I have the following...

plot(nirs, type="l", xlab="Wellenlänge [nm]", col="darkslategray",
    main = "Spektrum Deschampsia caespitosa")

...and I would like to change the part of the title-string "Deschampsia 
caespitosa" to italics? Is that possible? If yes, how?

The only possibility which came to my mind was "tricking" with the 
subtitle or with using text()...but that would be ugly...

System: Both Linux and Windows, R-Version 2.7.1

Thanks in advance,
Albin Blaschka
