architecture

Hi!

Can someone give me some hints on how a clean implementation (designwise) of a richtext editor could look like that allows for things like setting fonts, setting character colors and so on? And when and how are characters rendered? are characters rendered only once and the bitmap representation is cached?

Is there any article or book covering what software design would be appropriate for that?

background is that we're working on a text editing software for a language that cannot be displayed with unicode

any hint is appreciated!

thanks!
