Hi Rob,

I can’t reproduce your problem. In my version the mentioned paragraph
ends up in the middle of the 2nd column of page 14. That’s probably
because I don’t have the fonts you are using in your documents, and
maybe neither the images.

I’d say that this is due to the widows property whose value is 2 by
default. Maybe in your version there is space for only one line, which
would result in a widow line on the 2nd column (the last line of the
paragraph ending up alone at the top of column 2). To avoid that FOP
pushes the last two lines to the next column.

Try setting a background colour on the region-body to better see its
boundaries, and confirm that there is space only for one line.

Otherwise, maybe you can send me your fonts offline and I’ll try to
reproduce your version.

HTH,
Vincent
