[reportlab-users] The Font Problem fix?

[John Pywtorak]

If it is rl_accell then you can change rl_config.py I believe and 
disable accelleration.  Also SUN has a linux compatible binary layer, 
don't know what it is called, if it turns out accelleration is needed. 
All this assuming I am on the right track for a response.
