i just dealt with that today :O)
FXText does support underline and strikethrough, it might be enough for 
you if you just want to emphasize parts of the text. For bold, italics 
and others, scintilla might be suited, but i miserably drawned in its 
API (not OO at all, one file with tons of methods). if someone 
succeeded, i'd be happy to get some code to do it :O)
