TOC numbers are not lining up correctly

[David Shevitz <dshevitz@singlestep.com>]

Greetings all,

Yes, its me with yet another question! I have just converted a large 
document (several hundred pages, instead of the 10 or so I've been using 
as DocBook test cases) into a DocBook format. Everything is working 
fine, with one exception: when I generate a PDF, the TOC numbers are not 
aligned correctly.

I suspect that there is a parameter that sets how much space exists 
between a TOC entry and its corresponding page number. But I have looked 
in the DocBook XSL: The Definitive Guide, as well as several of the 
parameter reference pages, and I am having trouble locating what 
parameter/template I need to change. Of course, this lack of alignment 
might be caused by something else entirely.

For clarification, the output I'm getting is this:

Section..........1
    Section2......2
    Section3.......3
    Section4......4

Again, I think the length of the toc entry title has something to do 
with this, but I'm not sure what to change. If it matters, I'm using FOP 
to convert to PDF (I don't _think_ this is a FOP issue, but I could be 
wrong)

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
