A few times. I can't remember whether I ever saw some similarity  
between the PDF and the RTF output. I often liked to claim that it's  
(only) the RTF viewer ...


BTW, here is the set of fonts latex2rtf 1.9.16a supports:

	{\fonttbl{\f3\fnil\fcharset0 Zapf Chancery;}
	{\f4\fnil\fcharset204 Zapf Chancery;}
	{\f5\fnil\fcharset204 Times;}
	{\f6\fnil\fcharset204 Helvetica;}
	{\f7\fnil\fcharset204 Helvetica;}
	{\f8\fnil\fcharset204 Courier;}
	{\f9\fnil\fcharset2 Symbol;}
	{\f10\fnil\fcharset0 MT Extra;}
	{\f11\fnil\fcharset238 Zapf Chancery;}
	{\f12\fnil\fcharset238 Times;}
	{\f13\fnil\fcharset238 Helvetica;}
	{\f14\fnil\fcharset238 Helvetica;}
	{\f15\fnil\fcharset238 Courier;}
	{\f16\fnil\fcharset0 Times;}
	{\f17\fnil\fcharset0 Book Antiqua;}
	{\f18\fnil\fcharset0 Bookman Old Style;}
	{\f19\fnil\fcharset0 Century Gothic;}
	{\f20\fnil\fcharset0 New Century Schoolbook;}
	{\f21\fnil\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
	{\f22\fnil\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
	{\f23\fnil\fcharset0 Courier;}
	}

Although the RTF format has some Unicode support, latex2rtf does not  
support it. It tries to reduce any TeX input encoding to

	{\rtf1\ansi\deff5\deflang1024

for which it is useful to invoke latex2rtf with

	-C <codepage> -i <language>

8 bit characters are translated to \'<2 hex numbers>.
