Problems with borders in tables.
I'd like to create a table with vertical borders along some columns, but
no horizontal borders.
When I specify the border at the table-column level, i.e.
<fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="20mm"
border-style="solid" />
The border gets 'covered up' or perhaps overridden by the table cells.
That is, I can't see it in the table, but I know it's there, since if I
increase the width to, say, 3pt, I can see it sticking out over and
under the table itself. But nothing within.
If I specify the border at the table-cell level, i.e.
<fo:table-cell border-left-style="solid" border-right-style="solid">
then the border shows up, but I get little gaps between the borders on
each cell. I presume that the rendering engine draws the top and bottom
borders over and under the side borders, so the gaps I'm seeing reflect
the absence of the top and bottom border of the cell.
I've played with many combinations of padding, setting it to 0, 1pt, and
3pt for the column and cell level.
I'm stumped! Any suggestions?

Normally, the PFMReader extracts kerning information from the PFM file
if it exists. So if you don't disable kerning in userconfig.xml, you
should get kerning. If you really want to adjust the kerning pairs of a
font you may want to look into the XML metric file. You may be able to
do something there. And you'll probably need to read the Type 1 specs
for that.
If you rather want to manipulate character spacing you should look at
7.16.2 "letter-spacing" property and make sure you have the latest FOP
version.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I have added additional Type 1 fonts as per
"http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html". I want to adjust the font kerning in
the font xml file, but I don't know how. Can anyone, please, help.

Fantastic! Thanks, Roland. I removed similar over-specification in my
document to fix some other problems, too.

Removed this: ' background-color="white"'
in several places & that seemed to fix the problem, (although the image
url's got 404's).
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, Roland. Sorry about not including an example
right off.
Here's the table that does what I'm talking about. It's verbatim: no
names have been changed; there are no innocent to protect. The current
version has no borders around the columns, but when I did it was just '
border-style="solid" border-color="#000066" ' around columns 1 and 2.
Thanks again!

Yes, show us a small example.
This works fine for me, ie no gaps, using pretty much the code you've
described. I put the borders on the right side of cells only, padding on
cells only & specified <fo:table border-collapse="separate" > if that
matters.
Cheers,
Roland.
