Font Width

[Balajee Chandrasekaran <ba...@mastek.com>]

Hi All,
I want to change the font width of  my report. Basically I want to accomodate more charaters perline of the report. So I beleive I have to reduce the font width of the characters so as to squeeze in more characters.

I'm usinf FOP 0.20.4. I tried using "fot-stretch" property. 
But FOP gave me

[ERROR] property - "font-stretch" is not implemented yet.

I saw the xslfoRef.pdf that came with FOP 0.20.4 download, It did mention "font-stretch" property usage.

My FO content is something like this

      <fo:block font-size="8pt" 
            font-family="Courier" 
            line-height="12pt"
            text-align="center"
            padding-top="0pt"
            font-stretch="wider" >
        Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0
      </fo:block>

Is there any errorin my usage of the property??

How else can i acheive my objective?

Thanks in advance for the help

regards
Balajee Chandrasekaran

Not really. It just isn't implemented.
Also, it isn't really recommended to use this property, because
it may distort the writing, especially for smaller font sizes.

Furthermore:
  font-stretch="wider"
this would expand the characters, rather than makeing them narrower.

Use another font, or try to get a "narrow" or "condensed" variant of the
font you want to use.
