I've looked into that earlier this year. There used to be some GNU effort, 
which is dead now. I saw some toy stuff, but unusable for for 'office' use. 
There is some freely available US govt stuff, but it was useless. Warning, old 
link ahead: http://www.nist.gov/itl/div894/894.03/. I seem to have lost all 
my other links. That's all I've found, plus a lot of requests from people 
asking for something like this and no answers.

Best regards,
Ben
