Description Konstantin 2012-08-19 16:19:16 UTC 
I'm working on my own RTF parser on Python for our company, so I downloaded RTF specification from Microsoft web site, and implemented some features. But document, created with OOO Writer 3.4 is not conforming specifications.

RTF manual says:
<fontinfo> :: themefont>?
              \fN
              <fontfamily>
              \fcharsetN?
              \fprq?
              <panose>?
              <nontaggedname>?
              <fontemb>?
              \cpgN?
              <fontname>
              <fontaltname>?
              ';'

and this is a quotation from the saved document:
{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}

so \fcharsetN and \fprq are on wrong places.

The RTF 1.9.1 specification referenced here may be obtained at 
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10725

Comments on RTF end-of-life and further background are available in the Wikipedia coverage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format

[I notice that I still refer to 1.6 as the end-all of RTF, and I must train myself to use 1.9.1 as the proper designation.]
