[reportlab-users] bug in graphics/renderPDF.py

[Volker Haas]

When rendering a drawing with renderPDF.drawToFile() the font 
"Times-Roman" is always reported as being used in the document. This is 
a problem if all fonts need to be embedded in the PDF.

The problem is the hardcoded fontname "Times-Roman" instead of 
rl_config.defaultGraphicsFontName.

The following patch solves the problem for me:

@@ -260 +260 @@ def drawToFile(d, fn, msg="", 
showBoundary=rl_config._unset_, autoSize=1):
-    c.setFont('Times-Roman', 36)
+    c.setFont(rl_config.defaultGraphicsFontName, 36)
@@ -269 +269 @@ def drawToFile(d, fn, msg="", 
showBoundary=rl_config._unset_, autoSize=1):
-        c.setFont('Times-Roman', 12)
+        c.setFont(rl_config.defaultGraphicsFontName, 12)

Attached is a minimal example that shows the problem (to make the 
example work, the font location needs to be specified correctly...).

Regards,
Volker
