[reportlab-users] Intermittent failure to find font, followed by IOError

[Robin Becker]

My hack to bruteForceSearchForAFM missed out a comma, here's a better version

def bruteForceSearchForAFM(faceName):
     """Looks in all AFM files on path for face with given name.

     Returns AFM file name or None.  Ouch!"""
     from reportlab.rl_config import T1SearchPath

     for dirname in T1SearchPath:
         if not rl_isdir(dirname): continue
         possibles = rl_glob(dirname + os.sep + '*.[aA][fF][mM]')
         for possible in possibles:
             try:
                 topDict, glyphDict = parseAFMFile(possible)
                 if topDict['FontName'] == faceName:
                     return possible
             except:
                 t,v,b=sys.exc_info()
                 v.args = (' '.join(v.args)+', while looking for faceName=%r' % 
faceName,)
                 raise
