A lot of the time it's not just text, but rich text. For instance I'm pretty sure the font is preserved if you paste into a font-aware app.

okay, but I have way more RAM than even the largest of font's I have encountered (and I've seen a few). also, what an absolute bozo way of doing things to include the font rather than the path to the font

The Rich Text Format specifies the font of each word, etc. That is what the GP meant.

I don't think there is any implication that font files are being included with the data.

Okay but then that's still text to describe how to write more text. How big can that be?
