Qt 2 can only show rich text - not edit it. Qt 3 isn't yet available in 
a non-commercial edition for Windows, but it includes a very capable
rich text engine. I don't think it can show complex formulae, though.
On KDE I'd script KFormula using DCop for that, I think.

On the other hand, I'm currently working on a text editor written
almost entirely in Python (all editing and redisplay), with the goal
of finally having a real interlinear text editor. I think it can
be done -- but it's nowhere yet.
