Curious, perhaps my understanding is lacking, but I didn't see any
parameters that would let us inject the XML-FO for affecting font size
or color, as it says:
                 The content of a column is basically a mix of text
and variables. Example: "Page {{page-number}} of {{page-count}}".
Though I admit I have not attempted to set the "text" part to XML-FO
to see what would happen.

OK, that is what we did with our previous solution. But we had to end
up duplicating a lot of that code so we could affect/change just one
small part of it.

When we finally get around to updating to 2.2+ I will send back the
changes on the small chance you would want to pick them back up.

Thanks,
