[reportlab-users] Setting TrueType fonts in table cell

[Robin Becker]

Hi Nils,

I think the error is that you are re-using the canvas at the end of the build.

  Effectively you are re-using the canvas page and saving it again. That 
probably means you are re-defining the subset fonts again in the document.

I think the intent is for your extra code to write on the last document page.

The correct way to do that is to to have your page template have an onPageEnd 
attribute.

SimpleDocTemplate doesn't really allow you to specify the onPageEnd attributes 
too easily, but you can get the onPage attributes set fairly easily eg
