I don't quite see it that way. Putting aside for a second the technical difficulties of changing the font for an entire RICHEDIT control, if you are going to display each character as a different color, you will need some means of selecting the color for each character. That's what an editor is all about. To me, the difference between notepad and wordpad is the difference between a text editor and a word processor. They are completely different products (albeit - wordpad is a pretty crappy word processor, and so not very useful).
Actually, we don't need a text processor at all. There are plenty of them around. We need a simple way of displaying plain text, .rtf and .wri files for users pressing "View ReadMe now" button. We even don't need a support for editing that files in full flavour of that word. Saving files in that formats is not a priority at all.
Then again, I have failed to properly load RTF files in the wine notepad, or find anything else in which it is improved when compared to the windows notepad. What am I missing?
A patch to improve the situation :-)
