Ah (int)ptsize is int(ptsize)!

Ok, well here's a patch for main.c and lang_rtf.st. I am not an expert
on rtf as you can tell but it seems to work.

By the way, I am getting errors with some fonts:

couldn't open AFM file for font "Times\ New\ Roman", using default

But it still uses the font anyway, which it should I guess, but
how/where are AFM files? And where can I get some for the ones that
are missing?
