2 years ago If vtm is running locally, it is possible to simply populate the clipboard using the native Windows APIs, as the Windows Terminal does.
Note that OSC52 only serves to transmit plain text.

MS Windows rich edit controls register following clipboard formats

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format
Proprietary Rich Text Format Version 1.5 (Unicode RTF) Specification https://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm
RTF supports generic font family names used for font substitution: roman (serif), Swiss (sans-serif), modern (monospace), script, decorative and technical. https://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/RTF-Spec-1.0.txt
Note: Word 2013 does not resolve \highlightN colors from the \colortbl. Instead, \highlightN maps to a predefined list of colors. Windows versions of Word have never supported \cbN, but it can be emulated by the control word sequence \chshdng0\chcbpatN.

MacOS
The default text editor for macOS, TextEdit, can also view, edit and save RTF files as well as RTFD files, and uses the format as its default. As of July 2009, TextEdit has limited ability to edit RTF document margins. Much older Mac word processing application programs such as MacWrite and WriteNow had the same RTF abilities as TextEdit has.
