there are many aspects in report-lab that need to be fixed too as it seems that in many places in report lab expects ascii string not a python unicode object nor a utf8 encoded string (I guess I got problems with platypus) beside the crazy way apply some style sheets or templates with fonts that supports arabic we need a fallback procedure to some fonts that support Arabic and an single place and easy way to set the default font which should be inherited by all document elements instead of hardcoding fonts per elements _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
