    Ok, sorry, I misunderstood you.

    You are right - if I install the fop hyphenation patterns, the word
    "COMPARTMENT" is hyphenated (to three lines) and there is no overlap.

    However, hyphenating table headers looks quite bad, so I'll keep looking
    for another solution. There is also an issue with the restrictive licences
    on the hyphenation pattern files.

    Since this seems to be a FOP issue, I'll go and ask about it on the fop
    user mailing list.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hyphenation seemed to work just fine without this option just by placing
    fop-hyph.jar in fop's lib dir. No changes to the configuration file were
    required.
