This is so cool, thanks for that! :-)  Lubos [CC'd] has implemented the
font embedding, and actually impossibility of reading .eot was blocking
the PPTX font embedding implementation.  He has invested some time into
reading .eot, but did not finish that IIRC.

That would be awesome - where does the code of your library live,
please?  Are you willing to do the LibreOffice integration part
yourself? - Lubos would provide you with the code pointers in that case.

All the best,
