Well, a glossary isn't in a table. The current fo stylesheet puts a glossary in a fo:list-block, glossentries in a fo:list-item, the glossterm in a fo:list-item-label and the glossdef in a fo:list-item-body. So the fo output is already doing the equivalent of the variablelist. The label just isn't being handled properly by FOP when it is longer than its designated width. thanks for your response there are so many small issues with fop, that i have switched to passivetex for pdf generation cheers
