(It is not so simple as simply taking existing code and copying across: there are some complex issues we are trying to sort out.) I have some ideas on a unified interface for fonts, to cover both pdfTeX and XeTeX/LuaTeX. However, this is not something we've taken on yet. I'm planning to take a look at this some time later this year: at present, 'fonts, Spring 2011' is pencilled in my diary :-) -- Joseph Wright
