   Hmm, this last question seems to have gone unnoticed. I bumped into this  
issue again so I again came to wonder whether these problems are known to  
fop developers? I.e. are there one or more bug reports about these in fop  
bug tracker? I could not find any but that may be just due to not choosing  
the right words to search with.
