MessageWe support the Asian Font Packs which come with Acrobat 4/5
and these are CID fonts. The User Guide has a section on
Asian fonts, and reportlab/test/test_multibyte_???.py gives
4 examples.
This presumes access to a standard CMap directory as will
be found in tour Acrobat Reader installationif you have installed
the Asian Font Packs. Or, you could copy the CMap files
from another machine and ensure the location is listed
in reportlba/rl_config. Adobe Reader 6.0 seems to do it
differently.
To support other CID fonts, you will need to add some descriptor
info similar to that in our reportlab\pdfbase\cidfonts.py module
(and _cidfontdata.py in the same directory).
I just hope you don't plan to embed them :-)
Hope this helps,
Andy Robinson

Hi,
Quick question: is it possible to use CID fonts with platypus? Is there an
example available?
Thanks and regards,
Adam
