It is true that VDE doesn't handle graphical fonts, or in fact any fonts at all. Its printer controls do bold, italic, etc., only. However, an external util, VDE2RTF, converts plain text and VDE printer codes to RTF. A reverse program, RTF2VDE, converts RTF codes to VDE printer codes, stripping away what VDE doesn't know. Both progs also do code page translations. Download from http://www.volny.cz/zampach/hplx/page1.html .
