What is the best way to initialize the display with a starting color? I would think that the changeTextColor method would do it, but it does not seem to work when I have nothing selected. I see that for initializing the font and the font size, there are defaultFont and defaultFontSize properties. Any chance of adding a defaultFontColor property? 

One way to do this is to fill in the DefaultParagraphStyle event.
See the FTDocument.createDefaultParagraphStyle method as an
example of what you should put in it. This gives you control of
the default paragraph style when new paragraphs are created.

Another way is to save the current selection range, select
everything, call changeTextColor, and then reselect the previously
selected range and then call update.

The DefaultFont/Size properties were their mainly for tab support
in order to give tabs proper dimensions. Yes I can give you a
default color property which would tie into the
createDefaultParagraphStyle method.
