[xsl] FO: Non-proportional output with proportional font

2006-05-14 15:56:02
Hi all!

Im producing documents with standard font "Arial/Helvetica" (proportional font). The problem: parts of the document containing tables, created with ASCII characters (like - and |). Unfortunatly, I've no chance to re-create these stupid text-elemtens. Source of the text is given XML, generated on IBM Mainframe with Cobol. Now I'm looking for a tricky way to process this text-tables, getting a pretty formatted output. The easiest way is using an non-proportional font like "Courier", of course. But this isn't the solution I'm looking for, cause I dont want to use these ugly font in my documents. Is there any chance getting a non-proportional output by using a proportional font (e.g. Helvetica)? I know, sounds crazy, but: any ideas?

Greetings,
Christian

P.S: Using Apache-Group FOP 0.20.5, Output format is PDF.
