Therefore, the space around each italic character is all white. How can I resolve this? HERE IS MY CODE: <xsl:when test="./vouc-type='TR' or ./vouc-type='DR' or ./vouc-type='CC'"> <xsl:attribute name="white-space-treatment">preserve</xsl:attribute> <fo:block font-style="italic" start-indent=".2in" line-height=".14in" > <xsl:value-of select="vouc-charge-date"/> </fo:block> </xsl:when> Jeff
