I can read it, but I am seeing all the formatting instructions as well, rather than just the formatted text. Is there a way I can get all the pretty fonts too? [BTW, my window manager is twm, and we are using X11 r4, if that is relevant] Thanks heaps!

[...] >Is there a way I can get all the pretty fonts too? Beleive it or not, yes! Does your site have ATK? A person on the info-andrew list recently wrote an RTF->ATK translator. Grab that and run it, and the resulting document can be viewed on a machine with X using EZ, the ATK editor. I've seen it work on some of the NextStep documentation. For those who don't know what ATK is, it's a windowing system independant multimedia user interface toolkit written in an object oriented variant of C. I think it comes for free on one of the X tapes. It's multimedia implementation is done somewhat better than NeXT's in my opinion, but for some reason I can't fathom it doesn't seem to have much popularity.
