As the person who did most of the work/extensions after Ty Sarna contributed the
original work I can tell you we have not implemented 417. I did look at the sf
project, but the license is GPL and we could not use it directly as our license
is more liberal. I know this thing can produce postscript so it is potentially
usable with a translation layer.
