docbook-apps

I have two column table. Width of the first column is specified as 1.5*
while the second *. For XSL-FO transformation Saxon with column extension is
used, but in result PDF file (produced with XEP) the second column seems
like of zero width (content of cell is overcrowded at the border of table).
If width of the second column is set to 1*, everything is Ok.
I know, it is detail only, but at docbook TDG is written:
"Proportional measures have the form "number*", meaning this column should
be number times wider than a column with the measure "1*" (or just "*")."
I understand with it that * and 1* should be equal. In HTML output width are
calculated properly...

Try turning off the table columns extension. It should not be necessary with
a compliant FO processor (such as XEP).
