hi,

is it somehow possible, to specify multiple ttf files for a paragraph,
and reportlab would use by default the first ttf, and if some glyph is
not found in it,
then it would try to find those glyphs in the second font etc? or some
other way?

my problem is that i do not have one single TTF font which covers all
the characters i need to
enter into the PDF file. but i have a collection of TTF files which
could together cover it.

basically i'd like to do in a PDF what web-browsers do when
displaying a html-page.

thanks,
gabor
