The ones I've saved from the Title Editor seem to keep

That's surprised me! I'll have to take another hard look. Mine
definitely came back up all on colour and size. I'm wondering if it
has something to do with what was selected at the time you used save
As Template? If it *is* possible to capture these multiple elements,
that's great! Hmm - do hope that's not a newly added feature in
MEP-12, that I don't have in MEP-11...



I checked the data in my last multi-font, multi-color .tfx
file, using Hexplorer and see the same basic data structure
you posted earlier. In mine there is mention of the font
names and there are more color sets listed. The way they
look to have tagged the text for font and text color, is a
little less than I would expect, and I may not be looking at
it correctly. Still, both your post and what I see in my .tfx
files, suggests that the mechanisms to express the separate
settings are there and probably function the same. You
might want to try again.

Another thing; since the text definition parts of the .tfx files
are the same as used in .rtf files. (In fact you can load an .rtf
file on track 3 and it will be seen as a title.)

You could find it easier to get an understanding of how the
Font \f#, Font Size \fs##, Font Color \cf# entries and the
color table work to define the text, in both .rtf and .tfx files;
by working with .rtf files. You can use workpad to create
and make changes to an .rtf, then use notepad to view it in
ascii. (You might note that the color listing in Wordpad
looks the same as the color listing you get in the Font
selection area of the Title Editor.)

Luck;
