I've started the richedit thing long ago, and now I have some working 
text wrapping code ready. So far it can use different fonts and 
attributes (with row height adapting to largest font in the row, words 
can consist of characters of different font), omit spaces beyond right 
margin, align paragraphs to left/right/center (no justify, but original 
richedit doesn't have that either), can display the caret in proper 
place (but only move left/right/home/end) and use different wrapping 
strategies depending on available width.

As the company I work for is interested in licensing it from me, I could 
double license it to be used both in Wine and the proprietary 
application (which wouldn't like the rocksucking API and horrible 
limitations of the original RichEdit).

Of course, that doesn't make sense when somebody has much more code, 
waiting for me to finish a basic implementation for others to hack on 
would be just wasting time.
