Font size problem?

Jade presumes that RTF's default font is 12pt. In Office 2000 it is 10pt.
(Microsoft's Bad) This makes it almost impossible to make an RTF document
with a 12pt font show up in Office 2000. 

The relevant code is:

RtfFOTBuilder::CommonFormat::CommonFormat()
: isBold(0), isItalic(0), fontSize(24), fontFamily(0),
  language(0), country(0),
  color(0), charBackgroundColor(0),
  underline(noUnderline), isStrikethrough(0), positionPointShift(0),
  kern(0), isSmallCaps(0),
  charBorder(0)
{

fontSize(24) needs to be fontSize(20) for Office 2000. Or maybe we should
do away with the default font size and just output it in the RTF always,
no matter what. Just be explicit about it.
