See:

and more. Support is waiting on the new text engine. If you have some 
soild C++ experience and aren't afraid of some sometimes challenging 
code I'd get in touch with Andreas (`avox') on IRC and see if you can 
help out.

If you're not up for the programming, I think he's always looking for 
GOOD sample texts with examples of how they should look, etc.
