[xsl] Decimal alignment using fo:leader

["Angela Williams" <Angela.Williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure someone smarter than I am has already solved this....

I'm trying to align data in an fo:table on the decimal point, with the value
having the greatest precision right-aligned.    All of the examples I have
found show fixed width, only.

How do you do this when you don't know the size of the font, or the width of
the column?

I've tried to calculate the leader-length, but I'm not having any luck getting
it to right align. How could I change this to make it work?

This is what I have:

<fo:table-cell column-number="4" border=".1mm solid black"
    padding-start="5%" padding-before="2pt" padding-end="5%">
    <fo:block text-align="right" font-size="8pt">  52<fo:leader
        leader-pattern="use-content" leader-length="<<$max-precision=5>>*
inherited-property-value(font-size)"
        leader-pattern-width="<<$max-precision=5>> *
inherited-property-value(font-size)">.50000</fo:leader>
    </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

<fo:table-cell column-number="4" border=".1mm solid black"
    padding-start="5%" padding-before="2pt" padding-end="5%">
    <fo:block text-align="right" font-size="8pt">  10<fo:leader
        leader-pattern="use-content"
        leader-length="<<$max-precision=5>> *
inherited-property-value(font-size)"
        leader-pattern-width="<<$max-precision=5>> *
inherited-property-value(font-size)">.38</fo:leader>
    </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

This gives me (assume a border-bottom in the fo:block within the last row):
+-------------------+
|     52.50000      |
|     10.38         |
| ----------------  |
+-------------------+

But I need:
+-------------------+
|         52.50000  |
|         10.38     |
| ----------------  |
+-------------------+

Thanks in advance!
