Hi Matthias, You could edit the fop_filter.xsl file, which is placed between the XSL-FO generator and FOP in css2fop. You can also run css2xslfo instead of css2fop and launch an XSLT processor with a post-processing style sheet. In the coming version the fop_filter.xsl will be extended to cover more cases, especially for tables. The line-height and font-size properties can also be added in your CSS style sheet. Calculating column widths is a way to compensate for not having automatic table layout, but it can only be an approximation, because you have no access to font metrics, etc. I would translated the calculation in proportional widths for the columns. That works with FOP. Such calculations would have to be done in Java. Adding something to CSSToXSLFO is an option, but an unsafe one with respect to upgrades. You can also do it on the XSL-FO document in a Java XML filter. You can then create a new wrapper, with a main method, that has an XMLFilter chain of two entries: be.re.css.CSSToXSLFOFilter first and your filter second. Best regards, Werner.
