Moving this to a separate thread with a more meaningful subject (at least I think so).

I agree with the sentiment that this is a layout function and that generating separate FOText nodes during parsing is not the way to go. In my mind if we solve the issue how to get the applicable font list to TextLM the task of modifying TextLM to generate separate knuth boxes and later areas when the font changes shouldn't be too hard. Yes, there are text alignment issues to be dealt with but that could even be deferred to a second step. So, instead of a CommonFont object do we need a List<CommonFont> object in the FO tree to deal with this? Any ideas, suggestions from the property gurus? Manuel
