I poked at this a little bit, and found that I could get a pretty decent-looking result if I hacked the .fo file to contain "<fo:inline baseline-shift="10%">→</fo:inline>" rather than a bare right arrow. (See attached screenshot, wherein the last rightarrow was fixed this way but the others weren't.) However, I do not have much of a clue as to how such a fix might be injected into our stylesheets --- anybody have a suggestion? regards, tom lane
