[reportlab-users] accentuated chars and TTF fonts

[Nicholas Wieland]

Well, I've read it :)
I really don't know what's happening here, the string I'm trying to insert inside the table is just "Liquidit¨¤ e Obbligazionario", and I get a:
 
Error Value: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 4-6: invalid data
 
I've tried to print the string and the result (on a DOS shell) is:
 
Liquidit¦Á e Obbligazionario
(look at the a ...)
 
This is what I'm trying to do:
descr = unicode ('%s' % (result ['descr']), 'utf-8')
 
But I've tested a lot of combinations, like result ['descr'].encode ('utf-8') and result ['descr'].decode ('latin-1').encode ('utf-8') ...
 
Always an error.
If I try with a standard font everything's fine, Tahoma (and Rina, for example) will not work.
Someone that uses TTF and ¨°¨¤¨´¨¨¨¬ with RL ?
 
TIA,
  ngw

The user guide should have a good section on this stuff:
Chapter 3, "Fonts and Encodings". You must make sure
your data matches the fonts you selected. You can build it
from reportlab/docs, or read the one here:
