Since I have easy access to back posts, here's a transcript of what Sarah
was asking about (or is it Sam?):
hi guys,
i tried the stuff u told me about it worked well , but ... i am using an
arabic font, so when i open the pdf , it contin arabic characters but not
the ones i wrote, so anyone faced this thing before ???.
i though of changing the locale of my OS but it did not work, i also tried
to change the default encoding in the site.py, it did not work either.
ANY Suggestions ...
sam ellawindy
thanks for replying. here is the code i wrote:
import reportlab.rl_config
reportlab.rl_config.warnOnMissingFontGlyphs = 0
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
c = canvas.Canvas('t.pdf')
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('ArabicRiyadh', 'ArabicRiyadh.ttf'))
from reportlab.lib.fonts import addMapping
addMapping('ArabicRiyadh', 0, 0, 'ArabicRiyadh')
c.setFont('ArabicRiyadh', 32)
TEST = u'JGaHm'
#temp = unicode("JGaHm~", "ISO-8859-13")
c.drawString(100, 700,TEST.encode('utf-8'))
c.save()
the output was not JGaHm' at all, it another word.
by the way, i am uisng adode acrobat ME , and i used another viewer but the
same thing took place.
i tried sending the ttf file to u, but the coz of its size, the modrator of
the group send me a notification back.
thanks in advance,
sam ellawindy
Sir,
i forget telling u something , a warning was araised during compilation :
sys:1: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xca' in file
wxApp1.py on line 42, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
C:\PYTHON23\lib\reportlab\pdfbase\ttfonts.py:309: FutureWarning: x<<y
losing bits or changing sign will return a long in Python 2.4 and up
####where line 42 is the unicode string i want to write in the pdf file
so i fetched the given URL (pep-0263), from it , i understood that if we
want to use a certain encoding, then the whole src code of the python should
use the same encoding.
i assumed then that we need to change 1st the file encoding and then we
could use the one that is used in arabic (normally, the arabic encoding used
with windows is - AR8MSWIN1256)(p.s. the platform used is win98 )
i got 2 questions then:
1. whether i got that document wrong or right?
2. if i got it right, how to change the source code file encoding?
thanks u for ur concern,
sarah ellawindy
Sir,
this is a mail i wrote before, but no one replied back. anyway, i said that
something might happened and noone saw it.
i hope that anyone replies back to say whether i am in the right direction
or not.
i want to ak about another thing, does this relates to the problem of cezch
character or not.
i hope anyone replies back, thanks in advance.
