>>I am currently working on an application that takes the html from the editor and inserts it into a pdf. 

 

Just let you know in the coming version 5.2, CuteEditor will has this feature too.

>>For example i will be using "sans" but when the client wants to bold the text the font "sans bold" will need to be used does the wysiwyg do this automatically or do i need to handle this on my own someway.

CuteEditor can handle this situation easily.
