Hi Andreas, thanks for your reply. The problem is that I would like to combine keeping line feeds in my text and justified text alignment. With this older FOP version, there doesn't seem to be any support for the attribute "linefeed-treatment", thus I used white-space-collapse which worked with normal alignment. With FOP 0.94, everything works fine. Maybe with white-space-collpase = "false" each linefeed is interpreted as a linefeed _and_ a white space. And then unfortunately the justified text alignment extends each line to the end, although it may only contain two or three words.
