Hi
We encountered the problem of using percentage on font-size attribute.
The error is "getBaselength called without context".
<snip />
Two cases can bypass this error:
1. Changing the font-size attribute to a non-percentage (i.e. 10pt or
12px).
Indeed, this will simply bypass the percentage-resolution, so the
problem does not occur here.
2. If the font-size attribute (%) was in an <fo:inline>.
<fo:block><fo:block font-style="normal" space-after="0.1cm"
space-before="0.1cm" font-size="10pt" role="html:div"
text-align="left">
<fo:inline font-weight="bold" role="html:strong" font-
size="80%">Type
of Report</fo:inline></fo:block>
</fo:block>
We are not sure if this is a bug, or we are not using it correctly.
It definitely seemed like a bug to me, especially because you
mentioned the case of nested blocks.
On the other hand, (good news?) I cannot reproduce your issue with
the latest development version of FOP. Which version are you using?
If percentages are an issue, then maybe em's will do the trick for you:
<fo:block>
<fo:block font-size="0.8em">
should produce the exact same effect.
HTH!
