On windows, color would be quite easy using an RTF edit box. You can
then output the RTF content to disk. RTF is widely supported as an
import format to most word processors on other platforms and it remains
editable. Postscript is a printer data stream. It shouldn't be used as
a document interchange format. I would think that it would be
desireable for this output to remain editable so that you can import it
into presentations or other documents and tweak it (fonts, spacing, etc).
