Re: Truncating text
No. That's something that will be adressed in the redesign. I've investigated once what it would take to add it to the PDF renderer and it's a nice amount of work. It actually doesn't do well with the PDF-size optimizations in the PDF renderer. Some have reported on fop-user to work around the problem by manually limiting the number of characters in a cell. Not very nice but it can work. I've done this myself. The other possibility is to write code that takes character widths into account. This is not too difficult with the font classes from FOP.
