Subject: [reportlab-users] "setfont" tag in RML seems not to work propelry
Reply-To: reportlab-users@reportlab.com
When using the setfont tag in RML with a font name different from
"Helvetica" or "Times-Roman" I get a python exception as shown in the
following example:
RML-Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "rml_1_0.dtd">
<document filename="dummy.pdf">
<template pageSize="(21cm, 29.7cm)" leftMargin="2cm" rightMargin="2cm"
topMargin="2.5cm" bottomMargin="2.5cm">
<pageTemplate id="main">
<pageGraphics>
<setFont name="Helvetica-Bold" size="14"/>
<drawString x="2cm" y="28.0cm">test</drawString>
</pageGraphics>
<frame id="body" x1="1.8cm" y1="2.5cm" width="17.4cm" height="24.7cm"/>
</pageTemplate>
</template>
<stylesheet>
</stylesheet>

As stated above, font names "Helvetica" and "Times-Roman" work fine, all
other font names don't work.
I am using Python 2.3; may this cause the problem ?
I am looking forward to your advice!

1. Unicode && TTF's are supported in my fork of this project. But I never
had
tried it (and probably never will) on Win32 OS.
2. Current recipe to you: yourunicodestring.encode(yourcharset) for your
strings.

Ulrich I tried this exact source with the current SVN version of
rml2pdf/reportlab and it works perfectly (as expected) with Python 2.3 under
win32 and freebsd. Since Helvetica-Bold is one of the standard fonts it
should
be available always.
Is it possible that your source text is encoded in some way? I can't seem to
find character 0x93 in your example probably. When I use that character
explicitly pasted in (it seems to be a special double quote) I still get a
working PDF.
Can you say which version or rml2pdf/reportlab you are using?

my colleague points out that your traceback seems to indicate that you're
using
someone elses version of rml2pdf eg
File "D:\AR_Tool\AR_Tool_V9.1\AR_Tool\Script1.py", line 27, in ?
x = parseString(rml)
File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 518, in parseString
File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 148, in render
File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 507, in render
in which case all bets are off. You probably better consult the author
directly.

Robin, I don't think you _expect_ Traceback when using your *commertial*
RML2PDF! ;-)
But seems like Ulrich uses TinyRML from www.openreport.org instead of
RML2PDF from RL.

This has been done but is not easy. It is possible to insert
postscript 'tray commands' in the document at certain points.
However, the commands to insert require detailed knowledge
of your specific printer and its postscript drivers. It is
officially 'no longer supported' by Adobe and may require you to
print from an older copy of Acrobat Reader (4.0 works for us).
The best thing would be for you to email the precise printer
model and any driver details to us at support@reportlab.com,
and I will try to dig out what we did on the most recent similar
consulting
project.

Hi;
I have another question about reportLabs processing. I need to be able
to
encode certain pages to print from specific print trays. For example: A
section heading page would be encoded to print from papertray 1 and the
detailed pages from papertray 2. Can I do this with ReportLabs? If so,
how?
If not, how do I accomplish this? P.S. (example code is very much
appreciated and more useful than a statement like "use Win32all API"
Thanks Very much.

Hi Jody,
a Python/PIL-independant solution to your problem - yes, even
on Win32 as it seems, would be to use libtiff externally for
splitting such files. I'd asume libtiff is handling more TIFF
variants than PIL, which at least used to have some problems
with TIFF files generated on a Mac.
