The project is interesting, but still VERY raw !!!

What is this horror? Other editors open without problems, and also, why is your format written in the header, although the file has the RTF extension?

Why is there no DOCX? It is now even in simple editors.

    What is this horror?

    Fireworkz always loads files into its own format. If you want to save files back as RTF, then you have to do so explicitly.

    That 'horror' document looks like an issue with the RTF import code when using a non-Latin-1 language.

      Thanks for that report. The RTF import code was incorrectly assuming zero ANSI characters skip after each UNICODE character rather than one (some RTF creators don't specify this value). Fixed in development code for the upcoming 2.30 release.

    The point is that other word processors display this without problems, even very simple editors! And if a person opens a RTF file, then naturally he wants to edit it.

      RTF is useful for transferring rich text data in and out of Fireworkz, but I don't believe that Fireworkz should offer to automatically save RTF files back as RTF unless it can produce as good a representation as the original, which at present, it can't.

      That's just the current release from April that I uploaded to SourceForge yesterday, so doesn't have the RTF import fix. I can spin you a copy from the development branch for testing if you'd like.

    Please write when the release that solves this problem is published.
