[reportlab-users] TableStyle Cell Formatting Commands

Thank you Robin: This is very welcome information . 
I do have further questions:
Consider the following subtext of my original query:

>    Example: FONTNAME ==>> acceptable names
>             FONTSIZE ==>> acceptable sizes
>             TEXTCOLOR ==>> acceptable colors

 If I change the following command from 
 ('FONTNAME', (1,3),(1,3),'Times-Bold') ## to
 ('FONTNAME', (1,3),(1,3),'Times-old')
 I get a KeyError on _typefaces, which appears to be sourced
 from pdfmetrics. grep finds references to _typefaces in a subroutine
 called dumpFontData() in pdfmetrics.py.
 I find no documentation on dumpFontData in reference.pdf, or in 
 userguide.pdf. I will assume that python code referencing dumpFontData
 will give me a list of acceptable type faces. Am I correct?
 Are there other subroutines that will give me acceptable argument lists
 and commands?

 :-) If you think for a moment I'm complaining, put your mind at rest.
     This is a wonderful system, one I'm likely to grow old with.
     I'm just looking for more ways to find out what my options
     are.

     regards
