GtkTextView/GtkTextBuffer

[Birger Langkjer <birger langkjer image dk>]

I read this on GNOME's weekly summary:

:::
- If anyone wants to play with GtkTextView/GtkTextBuffer and give API 
feedback, this new widget would be ideal for writing a small 
WordPad sort of application (maybe read/write RTF format). DON'T 
write another text editor. ;-) If you're thinking "plugins" 
or "syntax highlighting" this project is not for you. ;-) 

The task is to make a small, simple, clean, end-user-oriented 
application, that lets you write a trivial letter or something 
like that with bold/italic text, and maybe an embedded image. 
Nothing else. It should just use the text widget - otherwise 
you're entering AbiWord territory, and there's no point in 
that either. What's needed here is _simple_. 
:::

Is this what is needed for the preview window?

Btw. I'd be quite interested in such an application that is mentioned here, I
foolishly tried to use Abiword the other day to write a simple letter, but the
printout was useless, some letters where printed on top of each other :-(

If someone can make such an app and make it work they've already outclassed
Abi. Sad but true.
