(It works for XEP, but I don't know if current > version of FOP supports 'font-stretch'). sadly, no. and i'm embarrassed to admit that, as i was typing the original note, i was thinking to myself, "make sure you mention that you thought of font-stretch and that it isn't supported yet, since someone is *bound* to suggest it." argh. and, regardless of whether font-stretch was supported or not, i'd still want to eventually start playing with other fonts. slowly, but surely, FOP is getting there, and i'm pretty happy with it otherwise. rday
