Why do you say this is a bug? Obviously, it is not a feature, but I'd call
it a "workaround": you must provide some kind of information (style) for
others usage. For instance, in Tiger you can copy a file name in the
clipboard, and the Finder will place lots of info in separate arrays:
UTF-16, styled text, etc. You can then later paste this thing into an app
(eg, TextEdit), and it will pick the data it needs to properly display the
thing you placed in the clipboard.
I think International text had a similar idea and behaviour. Depending on
its language and script code, the target application should choose different
font faces to display the related text (if needed). Otherwise, if you were
TextEdit, why would you choose Arial instead of a Chinese-based font, at
paste-time? So, "ksty" is here useful info, I think...
