* Open RTF in its code page, and Word/RTF files whose extension is wrong
RTF import read every 8-bit byte as Windows-1252, so Cyrillic (and any
other non-Western) RTF came out as mojibake. Bytes now decode in the
current font's code page (\fcharset, \cpg), else the default font's,
else the document's (\ansicpg), for the single-byte Windows code pages
874 and 1250-1258.
A .doc, .docx or .rtf whose content is another of these formats now opens
by its signature, as Word does: RTF saved as .doc (hh.ru résumés and
accounting exports are commonly saved that way), a .docx renamed .doc, a
Word 97-2003 file renamed .docx.
* RTF: read the page size and margins, lay tables out on their cell edges
RTF documents opened on US Letter with 1" margins whatever they said, and
every table got equal columns and a full grid. Russian accounting and HR
exports (A4, 2 cm margins, borderless layout tables whose rows have
different \cellx edges) came out about twice as long as in Word.
- \paperw/\paperh/\margl…\margb (and the …sxn section forms), \headery,
\footery and \landscape set the document's section; out-of-range values
keep Word's defaults. Tables size to that page.
- A table's column grid is the union of its rows' \cellx edges; each cell
spans the grid columns between its left and right edges, as Word does.
- A table with no left/right cell borders is laid out without the grid
style (\clbrdrb rules alone don't make it ruled; \brdrnone is no border).
On 44 RTF files (mostly .doc-named exports) checked against Word's page
counts: total page-count difference 198 -> 30, exact matches 3 -> 17, none
worse.
* RTF: paragraph spacing and indents, RTF defaults, the default font
- \sb, \sa, \sl/\slmult (multiple, at least, exactly), \li/\lin, \ri/\rin
and \fi are read onto each paragraph (new model::Spacing); \pard resets
them.
- The document's paragraph defaults are RTF's (single spacing, no space
around paragraphs) instead of a new document's 1.15 and 8 pt after.
- Text that never selects a font is in the default font (\deff, font 0
when the file names none), as Word shows it.
Against Word's page counts on 251 real documents (44 RTF, mostly .doc-named,
plus .docx): exact matches 212 -> 216, within 10% 248 -> 249; a 68-page
Russian federal law RTF goes from 89 to 73 pages (the rest is the Word
installation's own default margins, which the file doesn't name).
* RTF: import headers and footers
\header, \headerr, \headerl, \headerf and the \footer… forms were skipped,
so letterheads, logos and "page N" lines were lost. Each group is now read
into its own output (the body's paragraph, table and row state is set aside
and put back when the group closes), built into the document with its
pictures (new model::part_blocks), and attached to the section as the
default, first-page or even-page header or footer; \titlepg sets the
separate first page. A header left open by a truncated file still ends.
40 of 41 RTF files in the corpus have headers or footers; against Word's
page counts exact matches go 216 -> 218 of 251, none worse.
* RTF: cell and paragraph borders
Tables either got a full grid (any left/right cell border) or none, and
paragraph borders were kept only on empty paragraphs (as a rule), so the
rules under letterheads and section titles were lost.
- Cells: \clbrdrt/l/b/r with their line style (\brdrs, \brdrdb, \brdrdot,
\brdrdash, \brdrth, \brdrtriple, \brdrwavy…, \brdrnone), \brdrw width and
\brdrcf colour become the cell's own borders (model::Cell::borders); RTF
tables get no grid style, so only the borders the file names are drawn,
as in Word.
- Paragraphs: \brdrt/b/l/r likewise become the paragraph's borders
(model::Para::borders), reset by \pard; an empty paragraph with only a
bottom border stays a rule.
40 of 41 RTF files in the corpus name cell borders; page counts against
Word are unchanged (218 of 251 exact).

Old Russian and Central European documents name fonts by their Windows 3.1
charset aliases: "Times New Roman Cyr", "Arial CYR", "Courier New CE",
"Arial (Hebrew)". Windows maps these to the font itself (FontSubstitutes);
we treated them as unknown families and fell back to the sans default.
resolve() now tries the base family, and substitutes for it when it isn't
installed (Times New Roman Cyr -> Liberation Serif, like Times New Roman).
