I think this is simply a monitor resolution issue. I printed the pdf on my not particularly good laser printer and it comes out fine. It also looks fine in Adobe Reader when zooming in. Some simplified calculations: On my 460mm wide monitor set to is max resolution of 1680 horizontal I get roughly 3.6 pixels per mm or a pixel corresponds to ~0.27mm. So Adobe Reader will do some interpolation, grey values, ... to display something less than a pixel wide as your border would be. Which is probably what you are seeing (I certainly do). Manuel

'Smooth Line Art' Option is enabled in my acrobat reader. 2. Separate model is really not suitable for me as it will need lot of redesigning. (I am using XSLT for to generate fo data). To make is clearer, I have attached 3 files. .pdf and corresponding .fo file to illustrate the problem and a jpg file showing the exact concern. Please go through them and kindly suggest if I can modify anything to get the width of the border as uniform as what it used to be in 0.20.5. --- Thanks and Regards, Ajit Kulkarni.

While doing so I am coming across a wired problem. I am using "solid" border of "0.2mm" thickness on table cells. But it is not getting rendered as fine as what it used to in 0.20.5. I am attaching 2 pdf files rendered by FOP 0.20.5 and 0.95. Kindly look both pdf files @ 50% zoom for clear understanding of the problem, the borders looks like if they are having different thickness. I see differences too, but the file produced by 0.95 (according to the file name) actually shows much finer borders at a zoom of 50%. I do know that borders are drawn differently in 0.95. Does the difference persist if you send the document to the printer? If not, then check if the viewer has 'Smooth Line Art' enabled (for Adobe Reader, this option is found in the preferences). Please let me know the cause of the same. Another possible cause (long shot) could be that FOP 0.95 supports border-collapse="collapse". Try forcing the table to use border-collapse="separate" and see if that produces a different effect. HTH!
