Ah, in that case.. of course. I thought it did clip, but so it doesn't :(
(is why I was a bit puzzled by the problem)

Hmm. Indeed you don't, but do you have the possibility of extracting the
first n characters from the strings in question, where n is based on the
font metrics and the width of the cell (?)

Remote guess, but if you can 'normalize' the text in this fashion during the
XSL Transform, this might just be your way out.
