Right now, when using the layoutText method tof the geoTextCOMP, it will more or less ignore any textFormatting Codes, but still strip them.
It would be nice if they could have an effect on the the TextLine Object, i.E. passing the formatting informaton like bold, underline etc to the TextLine object so we can take care of it ourself (by setting the respective parameter/values in the specDAT/CHOP)
Right now most of them just get filtered out, and some do only have negative effects.
Example: Scale changes the origin correctly (and changes the rest of the elements coming after) but it has no direct effect on the scale itself,
