Hi,

I have the same problem as Richard. Setting font-size="0" does not
really work for me. Although the space is gone I still have a very
thin border around the pictures. I realized this using a block with
background-color and ebmbedded image. When I use zoom factor above
150% I can see it clearly in my PDFs. I guess this is no FOP issue
because I get the same results in XEP.
I already set any space-* and padding-* values to 0. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Tobias
