[reportlab-users] RML and non-standard fonts

[Gerry Reno]

I am new to the reportlab list so please excuse if this question has 
been answered somewhere - please just point me to the thread if so.

I have been using reportlab within the context of OpenERP (aka 
TinyERP).  It uses the reportlab engine but I think it uses its own RML 
parser.
Anyway, OpenERP has a means of creating a OpenOffice .sxw file, adding 
some special directives and then turning that into an RML file.  From 
there it gets converted into a PDF with its own trml2pdf parser.
I think I have all that right.

What I am needing to do is to create the .sxw with a non-standard font 
and have that font embedded into the PDF.  I added my new font in the 
default Type1 fonts directory and restarted OpenOffice and it shows up 
in the list of fonts.  I use this font in my .sxw file but when it 
generates the RML file the font is converted to Times-Roman.  So what is 
necessary to get the new non-standard font into the RML and subsequently 
into the PDF?  What pieces need to be modified?

Thanks,
Gerry
