[reportlab-users] Bug when importing TrueType fonts with names containing blanks

[Dinu Gherman]

Rich Shepard:


>  TrueType font names have no spaces, e.g.,

> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/tt0155m_.ttf

> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/tt0811m_.ttf

We speak about font names as fields in the binary .ttf files,
not file names.
