[reportlab-users] Reportlab and fonts with diacritics unicode support (U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW)

[Grégoire Weber]

Hi,

I'd like to use letters with a dot below but with standard font
families Times and Helvetica I just get a black square.

Does someone know:

- which fonts have support for diacritics (especially
  U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW) under Ubuntu 9.10?
- how may I find out which of them have diacritics support (probably
  and non reportalb related question, sorry)?
- how to specify such a font family in reportlab for normal, bold
  and italic font faces?

Is using ``reportlab.lib.fonts.addMapping`` the right way to go?

P.S.: Some of my assumptions:

  To use diacritics (example: U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW) as I
  understood I need to use a font that has support for it. If I understand
  correctly reportlab is unicode aware and should support such fonts.
