There's not much else you can do other than to try to handle/work-around everything in XSLT. FOP does not have special code to handle languages like Chinese. We lack the knowledge set in the project team. Every now and then we talk about implementing UAX#14 line breaking but so far nobody had the resources to dive into this. Any help is welcome.
