UTF8 and hand crafting styles

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi David,

As far as I know, a unicode stream doesn't contain any formatting data  
at all. That means that formatting unicode directly text is impossible.

I don't think that anything is actually lost when converting unicode  
text from and to htmlText, but there may be a few bugs. There are a  
few bugs in conversion to RTF text, with regard to the size of the  
text and colours (although the colours bug may have been fixed  
already). I can imagine that there are similar bugs in the conversion  
to and from htmlText.
