Moved To General Developer
There are programs for Macs and Linux that can read/write RTF files.
yes, but do they need to install a program if they do not have one?Quote:

thanks guy's
Decided to convert the rtf to jpg and not have to worry
Well, if you're looking to expand your knowledge somewhat, you could always try to make a RTF-reading Notepad in .Net. All you'd need to run it is Mono. Of course, it would be a bit of a chore... probably more trouble than what you're looking for, eh?
Yes, OSX can read RTF files out of the box using the included TextEdit program. It even has support for docx and odt files.
I don't think there's any modern desktop OS that doesn't support RTF.
Here is the supported formats that the built in TextEdit app in OS X supports
Plain Text (.txt)
■
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
■
Rich Text Format Directory (.rtfd)
■
HTML (.html)
■
Web Archive (.webarchive)
■
Open Document (.odt)
■
Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx)
■
Microsoft Word 97 (.doc)
■
Microsoft Word 2003 XML (.xml)
