Border widths
Hello
First of all: I am using FOP-0.20.4 under jdk1.4.1.
I want to do headers that has a different background-color than the rest of the document and it should also be framed by a thin border (1px wide if you would do it in html and css). The problem is that when I use the same border-width in different contexts then the borders sometimes are rendered so it looks like the borders have different width. Is there a magic trick that one can use to get the same rendered border-width or should I just use the same border-width and hope for the best?
Regards
/Marcus

I'm using pt and mm in my source. The pixel measurement was just a comparison with html.
But I'll try to print out and see what happens. Thanks for the tip

PDF doesn't have pixels. Use mm, in or pt or a relative measurement.
Acrobat Reader appears to round off line widths heavily, borders and
other lines with the same width in the source may appear with wildly
different width on the screen. Make a test printout on a good laser
to see whether something is really wrong.
