Hi Jay, Thanks for your input. I don't think that adjusting the FO code would be a good idea since doing that would render the text using lot of extra space ( if its changed to 20pt, then we get the effect of double spaced text). Also since I use SAXParser to actually parse my FO file, there is no way for me to know in advance what would be the maximum font-size that is present since this data comes from a user-specified xml file and can be anything.

In this case, that is the block. I make the distinction because it's important to realize which properties go with which objects. fo:inline doesn't have a line-height property because it is supposed to be contained by a block-level element (not necessarily fo:block, though). Personally, I wouldn't fix it in the FOP source code. I would instead adjust the FO code to be this: <fo:block line-height="20pt" font-size="10pt"> This text is in font 10pt. Now we will switch to a Bigger font on the same line <fo:inline font-size="20pt"> This text is in bigger font but the spacing between the lines still remains at 10pt because of which this text will overflow with the line above. !!! </fo:inline></fo:block> Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services (presently consulting at Synergistic Solution Technologies) "Puppala, Kumar (LNG-DAY)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/14/2005 10:43 AM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject fo:inline issue I am encountering an issue with fo:inline. Consider the following tags: <fo:block font-size="10pt"> This text is in font 10pt. Now we will switch to a Bigger font on the same line <fo:inline font-size="20pt"> This text is in bigger font but the spacing between the lines still remains at 10pt because of which this text will overflow with the line above. !!! </fo:inline></fo:block> I think the problem here is that fo:inline takes the line-height value from its parent element and hence when there is an increase in font-size, it does not update the line-height of its rendering area and results in text overflowing. Does anyone know how I can fix this in the fop source code? Any help is greatly appreciated.
