possible to specify required spaces?

[pe...@donovandata.com]

Does anyone know a way to pass required spaces through FOP from XML to a
PDF?

The normal processing of x'20' spaces collapses adjacent spaces to
eliminate extra white space, which is normally good but not in all cases,
and 'white-space-treatment="pre"' (which would preserve these) isn't
implemented yet.

Does anyone know, for example, of another way to preserve these or else
another blank non-printing character that we could use in the  XML file for
spaces we want to preserve?

Thanks for any advice!
