Although the version of Ted (2.14) is quite old, a new release will be available soon. This port is not abandoned. Versions 2.15 and 2.16 had some serious bugs so I did not update the port. In 2.15 there was no way to turn off bulleted or numbered paragraphs. In 2.16 a crash occurred occurred if a sentence, that contained a footnote, was cut and repasted. For Ted 2.17: * Numbered and bulleted paragraphs work correctly. * The table tools have been added to the main task bar. * Footnotes have proper spacing so that the superscripts do not intrude on the adjacent footnote. * Ted can now render line drawings that were created in Microsoft Word. * Certain embedded images were not rendered properly, this has been fixed. * Hyperlinks, when used for Table of Contents, had a bug that caused the underline to run past the right margin. This has been fixed. * A crash that happened when images were resized to zero width has been fixed. * Problems with the cursor repositioning itself, after a cut or copy, have been fixed. * An image that spanned two pages caused a crash. This has been fixed by preventing images to be resized larger than the page size. * The rtf2pdf.sh was fixed so that it would work correctly for private (non-root) builds. * When resizing embedded images, the image would flicker. his has been fixed. Still to do before porting: * The Section tool has some bugs and the developer is fixing this. * Reorganizing code (refactoring ?). Ted original began as a hasty program to allow the developer, Mark de Does, to read *.rtf on UNIX computers. Since then he has invested considerable effort to add more word processing features to it.
