Joao Goncalves commented on FOP-3306:
-------------------------------------

It's not possible to change the character when using a rule. I thought it w=
as possible, but upon looking at the code again, I can see it's not. The si=
ze and spacing can be changed using rule-thickness and leader-pattern-width=
.
