That will be a pleasure.

I'd be quite willing to implement ad hoc code for interacting with
either fontconfig or defoma in Cedilla, but I need a clear specificiation.
(For now, available fonts are hard-wired in /etc/cedilla-config.lisp.)

The one thing you should be aware of is that Cedilla currently is a
*plain text* formatter. No bold and italic. The only concession to
fun stuff is support for footers/headers and page numbers.
Oh, and it does Roman numbers. Computation of the phase of the moon
is planned for a future version ;-)
A good source if you're stuck is the SuSE RPM, by Mike Harris. It's
linked from the Cedilla web page.
