[reportlab-users] RenderPMError when using TTF in bitmaps

[Robin Becker]

Hi Dinu,

I used the code2000 from from here https://fonts2u.com/code2000.font. I
downloaded and unzipped and then ran this

################################################
from reportlab.graphics.shapes import String, Drawing
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfbase.pdfmetrics import registerFont
registerFont(TTFont('Code2000','Code2000/CODE2000.TTF'))

d=Drawing(200,20)
d.add(String(10,10,'Hello Cruel World!',fontName='Code2000',fontSize=12))
d.save(formats=['png'])
################################################

and it appears to work fine. I checksummed the font as

$ md5sum Code2000/CODE2000.TTF
052eaff1c80993c8f7dca4ff94bb83ca  Code2000/CODE2000.TTF
