[reportlab-users] Getting rid of "Helvetica"

Hello everyone,

When generating PDFs with the RL OpenSource Toolkit,
we stumbled over the fact that "Helvetica" is referenced in each and 
every one of our PDFs,
even when only other Fonts are used.

We currently need to get rid of Helvetica  in these cases asap.
(besides I'm wondering if this behaviour regarding to fonts is 
TheRightThingToDo anyway ...
Is there a reason fonts are handled this way ?)

I've used grep on the sources, looking for something like 
"unregisterFont", but I was not able
to find any methods intended to remove a font before the PDFs are 
written out.

Is there any way to accomplish this ? Any Clues ?


Thx & Regards,

Michael
