--- Comment #3 from Manuel Mall <man...@apache.org> --- What you are observing is most likely the effect of the FOP linebreaking algorithm that is based on so called Knuth model (http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/KnuthsModel). In a very informal description it attempts to find the most 'visually pleasing' linebreaks and as such it does not attempt to fill every line to its maximum. Instead it tries to find some optimum which leaves similar amounts whitespace on each line. It will avoid creating paragraphs with 'badly ragged' right margins if you don't use justification, or if you use justification it will result in the inter word gaps on each line to be of similar size. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
