The dictionary does state:  

The RTFText property is a representation of the styled text of the field in RTF format.

Setting the RTFText of a field (or a chunk of a field) sets both the text contents and the font, size, style, and color attributes corresponding to the information in the RTFString. Any other formatting controls in the RTFstring are ignored.


To export and re-import field information without losing any style information, use the htmlText property instead.
