ATM FOP cannot automatically size table columns based on the content. You must specify a column width for each column. However, the column width does not have to be absolute. You can use the proportional-column-width() function to specify a relative width (similar but not quite the same as specifying percentages). As I don't know the input html, css and the xsl you use it is hard to say if it will work in your case. In the end it boils down to having <col width="10%" /> tags in your input (x)html and to translate them in the chain to <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(10)" /> elements. May be I misunderstand and what you want is automatic font scaling. No, FOP can't do that. It will use the font-size as specificed in the input .fo file.
