Re: [docbook-apps] TOC numbers are not lining up correctly

[David Shevitz <dshevitz@singlestep.com>]

Actually, I made an interesting discovery.

I went back to my stylesheets, and reprocessed my file using the 
standard DocBook.xsl for fo. The TOC came out fine (just without my 
styles). I then knew the problem resided in my customization layer, so I 
went through and took everything out of it, then slowly added stuff back 
in, testing the output until I found what broke it.

Oddly enough, the offending line was in a customization for my 
header.properties. In that layer, I specified the font-wieght to be 
bold. When I took that line out, the TOC came out just fine.

I'm not sure how the font-weight for the header of my document affects 
the TOC, but there you have it. Strange, isn't it?

Oh, and I am using 0.20.5 of FOP.
