In the same vein... I'm trying to put together a catalogue index, which

from 0.20.5rc2 (see to GET from

last of yesterday's snapshot from the CVS repository
(xml-fop_20030309052748.tar.gz) the output looks worse rather than
better (sorry I've not got a link for this).

The problem is, the lines are correctly aligned during layout, in the PDF renderer the "(912)" strings have exactly the same x-position and area width. I can only guess something weird happens with the space calculation between the leader and the word on the line end. Also , the space at the block end is occasionally a problem.

As a workaround:
- Use leader-alignment="reference-area". This guarantees the leaders
end at the same x-position if the followig word has the same length
as on the line before. It also looks better.
- Write your XSLT so that no extra space occurs at the end of the line,
i.e.
 ...080)</fo:inline></fo:block>
instead of
   ...080)</fo:inline>
 </fo:block>

This looks already much better.
