Your FO file is invalid, which is the origin of your problems. According to the Recommendation, “the inline-progression-dimension [...] may not be ‘auto’ if the inline-progression-direction is different from that of the parent of the fo:block-container.” [1] [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_block-container Since you rotated the block-container by 90°, you must specify a ‘width’ or ‘inline-progression-dimension’. Otherwise the behaviour is unspecified, and I actually don’t know what FOP does.
