I tried it and it indeed fixes the reported issue > I will likely work on this in the next three months.

For now I would prefer to continue using fop and help where possible to get the fop support better. That is, assuming the effort involved is "acceptable", something which is difficult for me to judge at this stage. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
