Created attachment 23595 [details] resulting pdf file with extra unwanted padding I am getting extra top and bottom padding to my <fo:block> I am not including this padding myself. Please see the following code. I attached the resulting pdf. As you see there is slight padding to the top and bottom of my text(and also with images) which i have not included. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="main" page-width="210mm" page-height="297mm"> <fo:region-body/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="main"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block background-color="pink">3</fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root>
This is normal and expected behaviour. Without this 'padding' characters in consecutive lines would touch or even overlap each other. This spacing between the lines is commonly called half-leading and is calculated from the line-height property which fop sets by default to 1.2em. This means the line height is 120% of the font size. In your example it looks like as if there is more padding at the bottom but again that is expected as room needs to be left for characters extending below the baseline, e.g. 'qpg'.

The problem is i am getting this extra space even when using an external image. This is becoming a problem in my layouts. Please see code below and attachment. Thanks <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="main" page-width="210mm" page-height="297mm"> <fo:region-body/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="main"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block background-color="pink"> <fo:external-graphic src="villa.jpg"/> </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root>
Same and correct behaviour. If you compare your to PDFs you see that the image sits vertically on the same position position as the digit '3' which is the font baseline. Just imagine you have images and text on the same line (and following line). Without the half-leading above and below you wouldn't get the appropriate line spacing. And this behaviour has been discussed many times on the fop-user mailing list as well. Set font-size='0' on your block and it should work.
Yes thanks font-size="0" worked.
