Did you ever find out how to do this?

I recently started using TextExpander which is a program that lets you set up keywords to trigger pasting from it's database of text you write. How ever I found out because of this that rich text doesn't always pass all its' metadata along when pasting from one vendors app in to say Apples apps or even between some Apple apps to other Apple apps. So for instance I cannot style a text block in TextExpander and have the colors paste into notes, but bold does; well sometimes it works if I paste from notes into TextExpander and on the return trip it might paste the style or apply the Title style to everything. I assume there is some invisible doctype header I am not seeing in the paste.

Or are you saying the color value is embedded in the font file, and not the document level?

I never did attain the mastery required to embed colors into the font, so instead I used Begging For XP's style guide to change the color of the individual characters and I use those to copy & paste where I need them. It's not exactly convenient but it has worked for me. Were a real font artist to get a hold of this, I'm sure they could figure this out quickly.

Yeah I downloaded a demo of one of those high end font editors and I was so lost, and the thing cost over $600.
