I finally gave up trying to generate a PDF report. I did come
up with two alternative solutions that partly work.
1) XHTML+SVG
Unfortunately a lot of SVG renderers are rather broken.
Opera and Firefox both seem to have rather nasty font
sizing issues.
2) PyRTF+EMF
Seems to work pretty well. However, some Unix apps that
support RTF don't include EMF graphics support (Ted and
Abiword appear to fall into that group). Still, it does
work with OOo, MS Word, and with both versions of the
gratis MS Word viewer.
