    Is there an efficient way of displaying a large amount of text data and
    then changing the font of a sub_string ? 
    	The S Text widget does not allow much in the way of highlighting
    or changing the font of substrings . A Compound string seems to
    offer more capability but is it efficient when handling large amounts
    of text data ?
    Any ideas or tips would be very useful .

|     If you are just displaying the data and not interactively editing,
    then I don't think that the compound string text widget will be
    noticably less efficient.
