Hi Timothy, Very nice set of patches, it looks good. Listings and minted are still workable options and your new engrave library is available. I must admit it's not clear how to customize faces since engrave is a bridge between major modes choices and latex but maybe show one or two examples (say elisp and python) of how to change/override some face.
I think next we should apply these patches and be open to feedback about source code latex export using these new changes. I also wish there was a bit more documentation, but we can add more with time. Maybe some feedback from Nicolas G.? Best, -- Daniel Fleischer
