It was until I found a chunk of code I really couldn't make out what it was
doing and which I couldn't integrate my code with.
So I'm working on a different approach to cover all lualatex/xelatex
scenarios, which I think might interesting to pursue.

OK, so let's elaborate a bit more. Currently we have a two pass approach.
First we generate some LaTeX code.
Then we go through the code we generated before and start replacing stuff
(mainly language names).
The replacement code is somehow complex and small details sometimes pass
inadverted until it is too late.
And, on top of that, it makes the generation of the set..font, babelfont,,
etc. commands really hard.
My approach is to allow for a configuration that doesn't use the
#+LATEX_HEADER mechanism at all based on
keywords for languages and multi-language packages and custom variables for
font mapping.
For lualatex, the default values for the custom variables will import
fontspec and unicode-math and leave the rest to the #+LATEX_HEADER.
AFAIK this is compatible with the current main branch.
I'm using my lecture notes and presentations as personal test cases,
because I don't want to shoot myself in the foot ;-)
We can further discuss in the next meetup.
Best, /PA
