[xep-support] Rendering of non-hyphenated chapter titles

[Bernd Kuemmerlen]

Hello there,

we have a problem with non-hyphenated chapter titles: When a title 
(large font) gets longer than the available width, XEP puts the last 
word on the next line but introduces so much spacing between the words 
that the second-to-last word is not rendered at all (at least thats how 
it looks).

I tried to distill an example which shows this behaviour: This is taken 
from an fo-file generated with Norman Walsh's docbook xsl stylesheets 
with some small customizations. The Chapter title here is "Changing 
Application Preferences". When rendered with XEP, I get

|-----------page width--------------------|
  Chapter         7:         Changing
  Preferences

i.e. the word "Application" is not shown at all
In contrast, FOP gives this result:

|-----------page width--------------------|
  Chapter    7:    Changing   Application
  Preferences


When I allow hyphenation, XEP gives

|-----------page width--------------------|
  Chapter 7: Changing Application Prefer-
  ences

which is more acceptable, but I want to avoid hyphenation in titles.
This seems to me like a bug in XEP...

Cheers
	Bernd
