[reportlab-users] Missing Font files

[John W]

Hi

Trying to use a script that uses  the call renderPM.drawToFile

but it falls over with

    raise RenderPMError, "Can't setFont(%s) missing the T1 
files?\nOriginally %s

: %s" % (fontName,s1,s2)

reportlab.graphics.renderPM.RenderPMError: Can't setFont(Helvetica) 
missing the
T1 files?
Originally <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: makeT1Font() argument 2 must 
be string
, not None

I've only just installed ReportLab so probably missed something vital 
about setting up the fonts. I checked the search path in rl_config.py 
but the paths seemed to include directories where my fonts are.

The call renderPDF.drawToFile works fine

Can anyone point me to the document that tells me how to set up the 
fonts? I feel I've followed all the steps in the userguide for 
installation but :-(

I was going to search the archives of this list but it doesn't look like 
that is possible, emails archived in one month blocks and no apparent 
search facility; or I'm not looking in the right place.

Thanks in advance.
