[reportlab-users] <setFont> Problem

[Bernard Cagalj]

Hallo !

when I use another font than "Helvetica" (I need to use Helvetica-Bold) with
<setFont>  in the page template I get a error message:

Source:

	<pageTemplate id="firstPage">
		<pageGraphics>
		<image x="170mm" y="270mm" width="22mm" height="22mm"
file="sahm_logo.png"/>
		<setFont name="Helvetica" size="12"/>
		<fill color="red"/>
		<drawString x="100mm" y="270mm">Test</drawString>
		</pageGraphics>
		<frame id="address" x1="18mm" y1="205mm" width="100mm" height="045mm"/>
		<frame id="text"	x1="18mm" y1="20mm" width="165mm" height="172mm"/>
	</pageTemplate>

Error:

    return sep.join(words)

UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

In the <para> everthing works fine with the fonts. I am not very into
Python. Can anybold help ?
