Good suggestion - thanks. Looks like the blanks are preserved during the transformation. But then this line from the .fo file: <fo:inline>(ânâoâ âdâeâsâcârâiâpâtâiâoânâ)â</fo:inline> gets rendered into (nodescription) instead of (no description) What does this suggest to you? I think as a workaround for now I will refrain from adding the zero width space on either side of a space character. That should work since the space will allow for any wrapping that might occur at that point in the text. And if this looks like something in FOP that needs to be looked at, I would be happy to try and track it down. Just let me know. Thanks. Jon

I guess the space is lost during XSLT. Run the transformation standalone and examine the FO file in order to check this.
