The generated RTF strictly conforms to version 1.6 of the RTF 
specification (compatible with MS-Word 2000+), no matter the *XSL-FO* 
extensions (e.g. the "xfc:outline-level" extension attribute, 
https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/user/implementation.html#xfc_outline-level) 
you may use.

Note that aside MS-Word, most word processors (e.g. LibreOffice) have 
less than average support for RTF.

Sorry but if the Evaluation Edition has some flaws then Professional 
Edition has exactly the same flaws.

The *ONLY* difference between Evaluation Edition and Professional 
Edition is that  Evaluation Edition generates output containing random 
duplicate letters. See 
https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/downloadeval.shtml#about_eval

In order to learn about the possible limitations and specificities of 
the product, please take a look at:

XMLmind XSL-FO Converter",
