Things are always hectic for a while after a release, and it usually takes me a while to get caught up on mail. Just as a note to everyone in general - if you don't get a response from the list in a day or so, send me an email directly. With the volume of email I get, sometimes I can unintentionaly overlook a message. >>Currently, the PDF routines we use (ReportLab) had the potential of >>using other fonts, but we haven't worked this out yet.

Handling fonts under X is not a pretty picture, but it is getting better. Once we can figure out how to reliably select from available fonts, things should improve. In the mean time, try exporting to OpenOffice. It has built in font management, and will accept unicode input. This allows us to let OpenOffice manage the fonts for us. >As a sidenote, I have access to a plotter, which can print very, very >large graphs.

Not all reports may be upgraded to handle this yet. If not, send me a message and I'll get it on our TODO list. Don |
