TextInfo derives that value from the value of the word-spacing property. That must be an error in the property handling by FOP. In FOPropertyMapping 0pt is used as the default value. Apparently "normal" should be the default value. I am not sure how this can be done for a space property. Something similar happens for length properties, which can have the default value "auto". I think "normal" should be a keyword. Apparently, the actual value can only be calculated at layout time, when the font is known. Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl
