It would be easy to add something like this to fo/callouts.xsl: <fo:instream-foreign-object content-width="0.5em" baseline-shift="super"> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="1cm" width="1cm" viewBox="-1 -1 2 2" stroke="none"> <svg:circle fill="black" r="1"/> <svg:text style="font: bold 1.5 Times; fill:white" text-anchor="middle" y="0.5"> <xsl:value-of select="$conum"/> </svg:text> </svg:svg> </fo:instream-foreign-object> This would produce callouts in vector format, and free us from worries about upper limits. Other benefits are ease of styling, and possibility to use non-digital numbering for callouts. Sure, it would take longer to process, but the resulting PDF will be smaller, and numbers will be searchable. Does it sound appealing? Regards, Nikolai Grigoriev
