Hi,

I did a basic package (you can get the darcs archive at
http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/cl-cedilla/) with
a asdf file and a replacement cedilla 'executable' that calls
(clc:clc-require :cedilla) and then invokes cedilla as normal. This
causes a slight delay in startup.

For further integration with debian I've taken a look at defoma and at
the cedilla-config.lisp file and I fear I've run into the limit of my
font knowledge.

Defoma expects me to write a perl library that can then use
Defoma::Common to extract 'hints' from the font information I receive.
The problem is that I see little relation between the information in
these hints and the cedilla-config.lisp entries.

Groetjes, Peter
