Issue with setRichClip for RTF table export

When I use the function setRichClip to copy a blank RTF table (a blank WORD table pasted into Object Text) to a WORD document, I get blanks of the size of the table! :(

The fonttable I use is "\\deff0{\\fonttbl {\\f1 Arial;}}" and the exact command code is setRichClip(BUFFER,"", fontTable,true,true).

The print results that I get are:
stringOf BUFFER =
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;}

and stringOf richClip=

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Tahoma;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs1660\par
\b\tab\tab\tab\par
\b0\tab\tab\tab\par
\par
\par
}

I suspect the fontTable that I am using or there is a better alternative to setRichClip function.

Any thoughts out there, please?

Since it worked when I manually tried to copy/paste the text to word, I experimentet with setRichClip. The problem seems to be the stylesheet parameter of setRichClip. If you use "setRichClip (rtfString )" it seems to work:

So if you need to use another font table you might want to just replace the font table in the buffer using regexp.
