This is fortunately old news. See the example at end, it could be added to
our Makefile with the necessary modifications. Would it be OK to proceed?
As for languages other that english, as long as dsssl-stylesheets support
it, it's uses one from the ISO-8859 character sets and the writing
direction is left-to-right, I can figure out how to do it. With japanese
and korean, I know a few hints, but without the necessary fonts available
for me, it's a bit hard to test.
