Hello all,
Actually I have the opposite problem. I'm too having some long words inside a
table cell, but since my table-columns have a fixed width I would like to
have the content of the cell to be truncated in the case of a long word.
What I did was to use fo:table-cell wrap-option=no-wrap

How would you handle Catering for proportional fonts?
We are using substring(...) with a proportional font,
and it looks bad.

This is to be expected, because of the unequal character
widths. The character widths (in millipoints) for the
standard PDF fonts are available in the

NB: I would use a fixed width font for this kind of exercise, eg:

The character width tables are available as XML in the FOP

So I guess if its a single word like a full package name in
Java where the
package name is wider than the width of the cell, I will
have to force
breaking up the package name with white space. Is this right?
If hyphenation isn't appropriate you can't widen

Use fo:table-cell wrap-option=wrap
Thanks for the response; I tried this option but I did not
see a difference;
the text continues to over-flow the table cell width.
I saw this when testing too. Any whitespace would cause the cell contents to
wrap though. You could search the examples and/or
