Table Status (was Re: problems with height of cells in tables)

Hi Arved (and other interested parties), Lots of other bugs (like the inline-area height) show up well in tables because the grid makes things visible. That's the case with the trailing white-space bug I saw the other day, resulting in an empty table row. Some of these can also be shown by using

Hi Peter, Thanks for the test files. Yes, you are right that font metrics influence the calculation. In fact, these examples point out a number of problems with FOP's line sizing logic. The sizing is really determined by the font-family and font-size specified or inherited on the fo:block

Hi, Karen (and other interested parties) A thought occurred to me just now. A high percentage of our bandwidth (and bug reports) are devoted to tables. There are so many table-related bug reports mainly because so many folks want to use tables, I believe, not because there are more bugs in

Hi Petr, I've looked at this quickly and my first reaction is that it's probably not specific to tables. I think it has to do with line-height (aka leading in old typographic terms). Neither font-size nor line-height are specified at a high level in your .fo. The default font-size is 12pt and
