What I would do instead is to use no richtext at all. May be I am wrong, 
but I think richedit+html is targeted to something different than 
labelling, even if richtexts are so handy. With draw.text() you can 
print bold text, underline and so on by setting draw.font properties, 
and you can place text on paper with great precision. It depends a lot 
on what you are doing - for example: these stickers have a fixed format 
(template) or they vary a lot? The more they are "fixed" format, the 
more a simple draw.text() is good.
