CSS3 jQuery Rich Text Editor

Over the last 3 weeks, myself and Mike Buttery (http://www.mikebuttery.info/) have been working on our own simple jQuery Rich Text Editor Plugin, to allow us to provide our client with a rich text editor that supports embedded fonts using the @font-face rule in Internet Explorer 7/8, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. This has proven difficult for a number of reasons and has caused many tempered debates between Mike and myself, however, we do have a working version that we will be beginning to use in our various projects. Anyway we want to share it and make it available for people to use and modify. If you make it better then please let us know as we are also continuing work on it when time allows. Next on our wish list is text shadow and opacity. We have used mlColorPicker (http://www.mlambir.com.ar/project/show/mlcolorpicker) as our color selector. It is a brilliant light-weight color picker provided as a jQuery plugin and is required as css3-jrte depends on it. If you wish to use your own color picker, please do modify our source.
