Yes. 1) Approximate it using the average width of a character in a font * string length. 2) Write a Java class and call it from an XSL transform passing in the string - and then calculate the length using the font classes/methods in FOP. Be careful of possible kerning. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
