Okay. I have made some progress using the QTextObjectInterface.
Next series of questions:

- If a QTextCursor spans one of my inline objects and some aspect of the
   font is changed, how does my object get notified.

- My object is basically a piece of text. How do I render it on
   the same base line as neighboring text.

Thanks.
