There is native support for RTF on MacOS X, too, though perhaps not in
Carbon.

This started out as "how can we support RTF in SWT". I thought that
with a few added abilities like text alignment, bullets, and the ability
to have different fonts our requirements would be satisfied. But it now
looks like my requirements go beyond that and require images and tables
as well. It seems like that wouldn't be something that SWT would want
in the StyledText widget but it's what is requested on the bug report.
Hopefully I can make do via other means but I'm curious what the stance
is on adding the support outlined in this bug in the future and the
basic stance on supporting Microsoft's RTF spec.

I'd like to do the work post 3.1 but can't plan for it right now.
