Re: FOP: fo:leader problems

Just an observation: not only did 0.20.5rc2 not fix my alignment problems,
but it also has introduced some bizarre leader-length behaviors.
Leader-length no longer defaults to "100%" -- it instead inserts exactly  3
dots

This sounds like you didn't use text-align-last="justify" and
text-align="justify". A leader will be expanded to leader-length.optimum
if no text justification is requested, the default is 6pt or roughly 3 dots.
