RE: [sphinx-dev] PDF docs from HTML
Take a look at http://www.princexml.com/. We use it for converting html to pdf and find the results fantastic. -Original Message- From: sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com [mailto:sphinx-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Georg Brandl Sent: 23 August 2010 15:08 To: sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [sphinx-dev] PDF docs from HTML -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Am 23.08.2010 13:56, schrieb Infinity77: Hi All, I am the maintainer of the AGW library (a battery-included package for wxPython).

The easiest way to make this work is to see where the fonts are installed and pass it in the pdf_font_path option. I am not getting any other output. You could set it to be more verbose, using the pdf_verbosity option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sphinx-dev group.
