Editing a Google Doc in Emacs changes its font to Courier

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Create a Google Doc named "test".  its font will be the default, which is 
Arial.
2.  google docs edit "test" --editor /usr/bin/emacsclient
3.  Go back to Docs and look at the document.   Its font will now be Courier 
Light

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would like the font to stay unchanged.  Is there a workaround?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?

googlecl-0.9.13, on a Mac 10.6.7, with Python 2.6.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is easily reproducible.

This issue occurs because googlecl defaults to "--format txt", which does not 
preserve formatting.

A workaround is to use "--format rtf" or "--format html" but your editor must 
be able to handle the codes provided by those formats in order to sanely expect 
to edit the files.

A more elegant workaround may be to code a wrapper script that parses the 
relevant text from a different format (such as RTF or HTML) and opens a 
temporary copy of this section in your editor. You could then point "--editor" 
to this script.
