Marc:
Greetings.
If you want to get familiar with the RTF 1.6 specifications, you can do an extraordinary amount of formatting in media object text attachments.
I have put together a simple example of creating an attachment for my Address Book entry in application P01012. My address book number is 100039.
UPDATE dvdta.f00165
SET gdtxvc =
'{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl{\f0\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\fcharset0 Courier New;}{\f2\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}\par\b\f0\fs48 Test at 48 with Arial \par \b0\f1\fs36 Test at 36 with Courier New \par \b\f2\fs24 Test at 24 with Tahoma \par\plain Back to normal!! }'
WHERE gdobnm ='ABGT' AND GDTXKY = '100039'
Here is the break down of the attachment text:
{ Begins RTF document
\rtf1 denotes RTF data
\ansi Use ANSI character set
{ Begin block for font table
\fonttbl Denotes beginning of font
{ Begin block for first font
\f0 Assign font number 0
\fcharset0 Keyword to select font character set
Arial; Font face name, terminated with semi-colon
} Denotes end of font
{ Begin block for first font
\f1 Assign font number 0
\fcharset0 Keyword to select font character set
Courier New; Font face name, terminated with semi-colon
} Denotes end of font
{ Begin block for first font
\f2 Assign font number 0
\fcharset0 Keyword to select font character set
Tahoma; Font face name, terminated with semi-colon
} Denotes end of font
} Denotes end of font table
\par Keyword for beginning of paragraph
\b Keyword for bold
\f0 Keyword to use font 0 from table
\fs48 Keyword for font size, 48
Test at 48 wi... Text to be displayed
\par Keyword for beginning of paragraph
\b0 Keyword for bold, 0 to turn off
\f1 Keyword to use font 1 from table
\fs36 Keyword for font size, 36

\f2 Keyword to use font 2 from table
\fs24 Keyword for font size, 24

\par Keyword for beginning of paragraph
\plain Keyword for to reset formatting back to normal
Back to norma... Text to be displayed
} Denotes end of RTF document

Hope this helps.
