I have a text field in which I am loading HTML formatted text.

When I set a color to the text field, by using the “textColor” property, if the HTML formatted text has a different color assigned to some part of the text, by using the \<font\> tag, this color is no longer displayed, as it is overlapped by the “textColor” property one.

Is there a way to apply both a “textColor” property value and then be able to apply different colors using HTML tags ?
