That's why I added an __str__ method to PDFAction, because 2.1 produced
the same problem in line 568 : faceName = str(faceName)

It seems that 1.5.2 needs something too.

If your line number is correct, then try to add :

        fname = str(font.fontName)
        
above line 556
and then use fname instead of font.fontName in the registerFont method.

it should work.
