I am guessing they are space characters before the X's. I was just wondering if you have tried tab characters at all? Does that have a similar effect? Certainly in word processing tabs align much better than spaces especially where different fonts are involved.

Is there a way to prevent FOP from deleting the inserted whitespaces before "Bank", and inserting a whitespace when performing an automatic linebreak?? I hope you get my point and can help me.
