Hi suse,

FOP and XSL-FO formatters in general are the wrong kind of tool for Text 
output. This is because text output is character based, but an XSL-FO 
formatter has precise positioning. That is why you end up with strange 
whitspace behaviour, its caused by rounding errors when the Text Renderer 
tries to map FOP's area tree measurements (in precise units) to the nearest 
character or line.

You can work around this issue to a certain extent by using fixed pitched 
fonts and setting line-height.
