Björn Kautler commented on FOP-2522:
------------------------------------
Ok [~cbowditch] I tested against with latest {{main}} and it still happens.
I attached now a fo file that demonstrates the issue.
The patch is still valid for latest `main` commit.
> [PATCH] Soft hyphens in front of some characters are transformed to
> hyphen-minus
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOP-2522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2522
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Björn Kautler
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: issue-2522.fo, issue-2522.patch
>
>
> If you have a verbatim block like {{<programlisting>}} in DocBook, the
> DocBook XSL stylesheets insert many soft hypens
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+00AD) into the content to show where the
> FO-processor may insert linebreaks. By default after spaces and non-breakable
> spaces, but configurable also after arbitrary other characters.
> Unfortunately it seems FOP does not handle the soft hyphens correctly,
> depending on the character that follows it. Soft Hyphens in front of some
> characters are transformed to hyphen-minus, no matter what
> hyphenation-characters is configured and even if the occurence is within a
> line and not at line break.
> I've observed this behaviour with soft hyphens in front of apostrophe
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+0027), quotation mark
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+0022), hyphen-minus
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+002D) and full stop
> (http://decodeunicode.org/u+002E)
