Are you using FOP too? Because I had a few months ago the same problem with 0.20. It was better with FOP 0.19. Maybe give XEP (www.renderx.com) a try. Or does anybody know an attribute to align the lines at lineend? Joerg > Yep, simple enough and you're right on the money. However, all the lines > doesn't want to align at line end nice and evenly.
