Thanks! Ofcourse this is the function I need. I can't really get it to behave right though.
If I use this: <fo:block>A Price<fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" />€ 250</fo:block> the result is this: |A | |Price..............................................$| | 250| The block is a child element of another block and then fo:flow. No alignment properties are set on the flow region or the block regions. Setting alignment to left or start does not make any difference. Is there another special setting required or might it just be the implementation? I can imagine the algorithm for the leader length just calculating its length based on the last word on the left and the first word on the right instead of the endposition on the left and length of the text on the right.

You can use the default lengths which will exapnd to fill the space. I'm not sure if this is implemented properly yet.
