I'm sorry but answering this kind of "How do I" questions is out of the 
scope of normal support. Please refer to this FAQ to learn why.

This cannot work:

---
   <fo:static-content flow-name="after">
     <fo:block text-align="left" start-indent="-10pt">
       Simpsons
     </fo:block>
     <fo:block line-height="34mm">&#160;</fo:block>
   </fo:static-content>
---

because the above footer block is already at the very left of the 
``printable area'' of the page. That is, there is no way to ``truncate'' 
a block by specifying a negative start-indent.

While what follows works as expected:

---
   <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
     <fo:block start-indent="20pt">
       <fo:block>Bla 1</fo:block>
       <fo:block start-indent="-10pt">Bla 2</fo:block>
       <fo:block>Bla 3</fo:block>
     </fo:block>
   </fo:flow>
  ---

because there is ``room'' for the negative start-indent of block "Bla 2".

In practice, unless you file formal bug reports, we won't be able to 
answer to any of your further questions before one week.
