Hi Bob,

What have you tried exactly?
We are using <fo:block> sections like

<fo:block>
        <fo:instream-foreign-object>
                <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="22mm"

<svg:rect width="22mm" height="16mm" x="0px" y="0px"

<svg:text y="22px" x="5px" font-family="AGaramond"

font-weight="bold" font-size="15pt" fill="white"
font-stretch="condensed">ABGB</svg:text>

                </svg:svg>
        </fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>

in our FO files, which are the rendered via XEP.
And it works perfectly...

best regards,
Roman
