I have an XSL-FO stylesheet that is used for generating a barcode with a piece of description text immediately after it. When I run it through the Ibex FO application, the text properly lines up with the bottom of the barcode. When I run it through Apache FOP (it's an older version 0.3x... I CAN'T change this), the text lines up with t...
