Yes. I asked the same question last week.
To "fix" the problem, add <colspec colwidth=""/> to your table for
each column.
While trying to solve this problem myself, I learned that FOP will
not handle proportional measures (1*) correctly. Norm's FOP style
sheets convert this information, but FOP does not yet support
proportional widths. (Norm's HTML style sheets, however, handle
proportional measures quite well).
My current solution is as follows:
<table frame="all" pgwide="1">
<title>Typographical Conventions</title>
<tgroup cols="3" align="left">
<colspec colwidth="3cm"/>
<colspec colwidth="6cm"/>
<colspec colwidth="5cm"/>
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Convention</entry>
<entry>Meaning</entry>
<entry>Example</entry>
</row>
</thead>
...
With this markup, the tables display in HTML and FOP quite well.
I hope this helps.
