I used template.py invoice example,
but in invoice.csv I tried to change all 'Arial' --> 'DejaVu'
f.parse_csv(infile="_invoice.csv", delimiter=";", decimal_sep=",")
f.pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True)
f.pdf.add_font('DejaVu', 'B', 'DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf', uni=True)
and the problem was caused by '\xba'
'document_number';'T';115.30;27.80;125.30;33.30;'DejaVu';14.00;1;0;0;0;0;'I';'N\xba:
';2
***
another issue is in class Template
def __setitem__(self, name, value):
...
if isinstance(value,unicode):
value = value.encode("latin1","ignore")
so u"Sample ĄČĘĖŠŲ product" will show only "Sample product '
but "Sample ĄČĘĖŠŲ product" will show "Sample ĄČĘĖŠŲ product ' ... :)
***
ps.: in template.py there was also
if font == 'arial black':
font = 'arial'
which could be generalized (for DejaVu or other)
if font.lower().endswith(" black"):
font=font[:-len(" black")].strip()
