Some websearch leaded me to #174639 and thus I applied the following
patch to python-reportlab:
Author: Andreas Tille <ti...@debian.org>
Last-Update: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:02:07 +0200
Description: Fix TTFSearchpath (see #174639)
--- a/src/reportlab/rl_settings.py
+++ b/src/reportlab/rl_settings.py
@@ -122,6 +122,7 @@ T1SearchPath = (
.
# places to look for TT Font information
TTFSearchPath = (
+ '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/', # Here are Debian's TTF fonts
kept
'c:/winnt/fonts',
'c:/windows/fonts',
'/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/',
Unfortunately the result remained the same. I somehow came to the
conclusion that the problem is caused by a broken reportlab package but
it seems my patch did not solved the issue. Any better idea? I do
not really want to reopen #174639 / file a new bug before I'm really
sure that this is the cause of the problem.
Kind regards
Andreas.
