Andreas L. Delmelle commented on FOP-2349:
------------------------------------------
Had a first look at this one, and the culprit is hidden in a comment in
org.apache.fop.fonts.GlyphMapping.
In the private static method processWordMapping(), at line 162, it says
literally:
// [TBD] - handle letter-spacing
At this point, I cannot judge whether this was an oversight, or whether it is
really such a hard problem that it could not be implemented at that time. I am
going to have a closer look at that.
In the meantime, if anyone has any useful hints or background info to add, feel
free to chime in.
> Inline elements with letter-spacing and custom font aren't correctly sized

> Key: FOP-2349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2349
> Project: Fop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: layout/unqualified
> Reporter: Matthias Reischenbacher
> Attachments: inline-letter-spacing.pdf, inline-letter-spacing.xml
>
>
> If letter-spacing is applied to an inline element, that uses one of the
> base-14 fonts, the width of the inline element is automatically expanded with
> the letter-spacing.
> However if a custom font is used (e.g. Arial) the inline width isn't expanded
> anymore, which prevents from using background-color or borders for the inline
> element.
> See attached PDF which illustrates the problem.
