One thing I remember from back in the day was that the text used to be supplied as a group of glyphs, so text extraction and modification was really easy (I was able to do some simple tweeks from the command-line). But then a few years ago, to address some problem (I can't remember what), it was decided that the glyphs would be individually placed, making it hard to extract out groups of text.
