See https://forum.xojo.com/20622-windows-textarea-drawinto-does-not-work-with-styled-text
Anyone got an idea?
Styled text probably died when they switched from GDI to D2D
Windows having as many possible API’s for doing this is part of the issue as Xojo needs to use some to get nice high quality drawing in some places but cant use them in others
Its a mess and not entirely in Xojo’s control
There really isnt a nice alternative for DrawInto for styled text AFAICT short of screwing around and making your own which is a pile of work
