The Times-Roman for some reason appears if there is a table.

Here's a short test case:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Paragraph
from reportlab.platypus.tables import *
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet

def go():
        Story=[]
        ts=TableStyle([('GRID',(0,0),(-1,-1),0.25,"black"),
                      ('BOX',(0,0),(-1,-1),0.25,"black")]
                     )
        styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
        doc = SimpleDocTemplate("phello.pdf")
        
        cell=[Paragraph('A',styles['Normal']),
              Paragraph('B',styles['Normal'])]
        Story=[Table([[cell]],style=ts)]
        doc.build(Story)

go()

Running it with reportlab 2.4, pdffonts report this:

[ralsina at hp input]$ pdffonts phello.pdf 
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID

Helvetica                            Type 1            no  no  no       2  0
Times-Roman                          Type 1            no  no  no       3  0

I am attaching the generated file.
