I'm almost sure this must be a problem with the z3c rml parsing. In base 
reportlab the base font transitions work fairly well. We had problem with our 
rml product and introduced a register family tag so that you could bring in 
families of fonts all at once. However, the base fonts should come in 
pre-installed as a family. If there is a bug in base level reportlab it'll 
likely be fixable in trunk fairly easily.

Can you send me the failing test rml? If it runs in our world it'll likely be 
the translation that's failing.
