Thanks Richard. I have used the attribute sets for the entire document, but some of my examples are too long to fit on the page and I want to shrink the font size for only that instance so I can fit it without compromising the rest of the verbatim blocks.
In other words, I only want to apply these fine-grained customizations on demand for individual instances, and not the entire document. The reason I want to use the role="7pt" and width="0" is because our entire document set uses these attributes for that purpose with our FOSI publishing system. I'm trying to "port" our current system to XSL-FO to make it more future-proof.

Hi Eric, Take a look at the monospace.verbatim.properties attribute set. I know you can set the font there. You may also be able to adjust the margins (I haven't tried that in this context). Generally, I always look for attribute sets first when doing a customization, because if you can get what you need done with the attribute set, it will save you having to customize templates.
