The metadata for each document is stored in .metadata.json (inside the libraryPath directory).

You could use the importer to do that. But the problem is that you'll need to dynamically link against mupdf and, by default, mupdf generates a static library.

Since you already have the author information within the categories array, you could write a script that modifies each entry in .metadata.json by copying the relevant parts of categories to the author key.

Have you tried appending !important at the end of your declarations?

E.g.:

body {
	font-family: "Foo Bar" !important;
}

The ability to change the margins for each document will come later.

In the meantime, you can do it globally through user.css:

@page {
	margin: 1em;
}

Adjusting the degree of boldness of the default font isn't currently possible at it would require generating a new font on the fly by interpolating between two font families.

There will be a settings window.
