Yes. I think you'll need to take a look at utilising the AutoCAD format attributes such as:
autocad_mtext_string
autocad_mtext_text_height
etc
Take a look at the FME Readers and Writers manual here... Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Reader/Writer > Feature Representation > Multi-Text Entities.

As long as FME-Talk stays readable look here for some lengthy discussion on MTEXT.

Some quoting from there ...
In order to get Bold or Italic styled True Type Fonts, it is necessary
to fill the attribute "autocad_mtext_string" with something like:
{\\fArial|b1|i1|c0|p34;Text}
where
b1 ... is the flag for bold and
i1 ... is the flag for italic
