[reportlab-users] Asian text not rendered

[J Maxwell]

Hello,

Japanese text in pdf files produced by reportlab 2.0 displays in some 
pdf viewers, but not in others.

The demo Japanese pdf file from the reportlab site 
(http://www.reportlab.org/docs/jmed.pdf) displays correctly using the 
Evince pdf viewer on fedora 6, but the Japanese text isn't rendered at 
all when using the Kpdf viewer.

However, a pdf file with Japanese text produced by openoffice is 
rendered in both evince and kpdf viewers without any difficulty.

Reportlab 2.0 files that I have produced with Japanese text also fail to 
be rendered accurately in kpdf, but show in the evince pdf viewer.

Can reportlab be tweaked to avoid this anomaly?

Thanks.
