RTF
From Director Online Wiki
Director's #text members have an .rtf property. This Research Project has been formed to analyze how the contents of the text member is formatted and how to manipulate the RTF syntax so that you can produce text display effects which are not accessible through Lingo alone.
You can find the draft of an article describing some aspects of Director's RTF handling here (http://nonlinear.openspark.com/tutorials/rtf/RTF.rtf). A movie that allows you to test the various RTF features can be found here (http://nonlinear.openspark.com/tutorials/rtf/rtf.dir). A zip file containing a number of RTF files which use un-American characters can be found here (http://nonlinear.openspark.com/tutorials/rtf/examples.zip)
