reportlab and custom fonts

[Reinhold Birkenfeld]

Hi,

I'm trying to get reportlab working together with the Tahoma font
(by Microsoft ;)

So far it's up and running (converted the ttf with ttf2pt1), but the
Euro sign (which is in position 0x80 in the WinAnsiEncoding) fails to
show up in the final PDF.

I investigated a bit and saw that in the afm (and pfb) the code point
128 is called "uni20AC". That's okay in principle, since that Unicode
character is the Euro sign, but it seems that reportlab likes the
character to be named "Euro". Okay, renamed it in both files, still no
luck.

Has anyone experience with this problem?

Never mind, I overlooked one occurence of "uni20AC" in my .t1a file.
