[reportlab-users] TTF-Font Support

[Tom Py]

Hi Tim,

thats the code:

import os
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4, landscape

actFolder = os.getcwd() + os.sep

fontFile = 'futural.ttf'
fontName = 'FuturaBT-Light'

pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont(fontName, actFolder + fontFile))

myCanvas = canvas.Canvas("test.pdf", pagesize = landscape(A4))
myCanvas.setFont(fontName, 10.)
myCanvas.drawCentredString(100, 100, 'Hello World')
myCanvas.showPage()
myCanvas.save()
#myCanvas.getpdfdata()

In this case, everything works fine. But when I use
'myCanvas.getpdfdata()', I'll get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\fonttest.py", line 23, in ftest
    myCanvas.getpdfdata()
  File "C:\Program Files

in getpdfdata
    return self._doc.GetPDFData(self)
  File "C:\Program Files

in GetPDFData
    fnt.addObjects(self)
  File "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Python273\lib\site-packages\reportlab\pdfbase\ttfonts.py", line 1126,
in addObjects
    pdfFont.ToUnicode = doc.Reference(cmapStream, 'toUnicodeCMap:' +
baseFontName)
  File "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Python273\lib\site-packages\reportlab\pdfbase\pdfdoc.py", line 536,
in Reference
    raise ValueError, "redefining named object: "+repr(name)
ValueError: redefining named object: 'toUnicodeCMap:AAAAAA+FuturaBT-Light'


Thanks for help. :)
