<p>Does anyone know of an RTF control that can be used on Linux/Windows/Mac? It's unfortunate that I have to mention it, but it actually has to be able to save and open rtf files... unlike wxWidgets wxRichTextCtrl for instance.</p>

<p>Edit: Thanks to HappySmileMan for his reply. Better still if it's more of a standalone and not a part of a large library that it would depend on.</p>

<p>Edit: ... and it doesn't look like it can open rtf files... ugh.</p>
