I have tested 0.7.2 rc1 and it seems OK.

I have one question about text-indent. The Extensible Stylesheet
Language (XSL) Version 1.0 says that:

This property specifies the indentation of the first line of text in a
block ... The value of 'text-indent' may be negative, but there may be
implementation-specific limits.

jfor codes that property by a directive \fiN which is a First-line
indent (the default is 0). OK. But the resulting indentation is always
negative due to the definition of LEFT_INDENT_STRING in RtfText:

LEFT_INDENT_FIRST = "fi-"

It think it is not a good interpretation of the spec. The text-indent
value is an indentation, and I don't see any reason to take the
opposite. In addition, it is not possible to specify a negative value
for text-indent because you end with 'fi--N' in RTF.

I have another question about leaders with tabs. With MS Word 2000, the
order must be:

<tabkind> <tablead> \tx

The order of the TABS array in RtfText leads to:

<tabkind> \tx <tablead>

which doesn't work in Word 2000. When I change the order of the TABS
array the leader is correct, but perhaps there are some configurations
where it doesn't work anymore. I can only test with Word 2000.
