Thanks for responding Charles,
I have tried code similar to yours that I found in the
documentation, but I keep getting errors like this:
Traceback:
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py"
in get_response
100. response = callback(request,
*callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
File "/home/wilbur/IOM/iom_catalog/views.py" in
hello_kitty
53.
text.preamble(r"\DeclareFixedFont{\LittleFont}{T1}{ptm}{b}{it}{0.75in}")
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyx/text.py" in
preamble
1169. self.execute(expr, texmessages)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyx/text.py" in execute
1040. raise TexResultError("unhandled
TeX response (might be an error)", self)
Exception Type: TexResultError at /test_pyx_pdf/
Exception Value: unhandled TeX response (might be an
error)
The expression passed to TeX was:
\DeclareFixedFont{\LittleFont}{T1}{ptm}{b}{it}{0.75in}%
\PyXInput{6}%
After parsing the return message from TeX, the following
was left:
*(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/psnfss/t1ptm.fd)
kpathsea: Running mktextfm ptmbi8t
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour;
mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ptmbi8t
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live
2009/Debian)
(cut after 5 lines, increase errordebug for more
output)
