How have you been applying the formatting, using gtk.TextTags? I have a
project on github called SmartTE (a rich text editor along the same vein
as wordpad) which is already starting to age in terms of my skill, but
the functions textConvertTo and textConvertFrom should give you an
example of how you can save and restore formatting from a file. You can
use this code if it will help you for your project, just be sure to note
my license (it is a custom BSD). If you have any questions, feel free to
ask, I should be able to reply within a timely manner of less than one day.
