Thanks for the reply. I did try to use nbsp but could not figure out how to do it in Java. If I put in &_#_x_0_0_A_0_; directly in the fo file, it works. But in my case I have to set the value using Java like this: object.setProperty("&_#_x_0_0_A_0_;"); // nbsp character is expanded with _ to show in html The property is then retrieved to construct the .fo document. It becomes &_a_m_p_;_x_0_0_a_0_;. The PDF displays literal &_#_x_0_0_A_0_; as is instead of treating it as nbsp. I guess I have to escape & in Java but I do not know how. Any ideas?
http://www.nabble.com/file/p20343217/source_empty_rows.xml source_empty_rows.xml I attached the source fo file here. Notice the third row is displayed fine if I put the nbsp character directly in fo file. 4th and 5th rows are empty rows.
