   I doubt that multicolumn typesetting is a design goal for gnupdf.

It is not.

The primary goal of the GNU PDF Library is to provide a convenient and
complete framework for both process and create PDF files. After the
library is released the texinfo/texi2pdf/... maintainers may want to
use it to improve the pdf generation capabilities. 

   Btw: I suggest moving the Statement of Purpose from Lib:Architecture
   to the homepage. I find it hard to find on the site something more
   substential on the goals of gnupdf than the the sentence on the
   homepage.

Good idea. I shall fix it today.

Thanks.
