I need a text widget for which color information is
per-character rather than per-widget, as I want to
highlight arbitrary chunks of text using different
colors.

- Has anyone done this?

- How much work would it be to write a widget which
  does this, or to modify the Athena text widget?

Please email your response.

Thanks in advance,
