Hmmm... I thought I remembered maybe 6 months ago or so a discussion about this... ahh yes between you and Dmitry :-)The concensus then was that Notepad will use Rich Edit because we need to support RTFs. However, noone seemed to bother writing even the simplest decoder for it. On the other hand, I need notepad to support a font dialog because of non-Western codepages issues. As a result, I decided to just submit the patch and turn it back into EDIT. If anyone wants to start working on an editor (or even a viewer) that supports RTFs, they can either:

So does this mean you are going to create a separate wordpad, as you mentioned then?
* Fork notepad
or
* Figure out how to maintain the font dialog support under rich edit.
Until someone decides that RTFs are important enough to actually do anything about them, I don't see any reason why a simple fix such as the font dialog should wait.
