reportlab - ttf justify

[maeckle]

hi,

i'm working with reportlab since a couple of weeks and i managed to
create quite nice pdfs...
there is a little problem though. since i have to create english and
russian content, i use the utf8 support of registered ttf's. the only
thing is that it does not support the justify-alignment in paragraph
flowables!
is there a way to fix that?

thanks alot

Hi, you'll get better response from the reportlab-users list at

http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/list...eportlab-users

The ttf support has been significantly improved in an svn branch. re-ask on that
list giving your current version.

I believe the problem with ttf justification was related to using space as a
splitting character in dynamically subsetted fonts. Someone posted a fix for
that problem to the users list and I think that has gone in to the code now, but
I'm not sure if it is on the stable branch or not.

hi,

no success at the reportlab-users list.

i also applied the 'spaces patch to fix para splitting'-patch but it's
still not justifying the text...

is there an other solution?

thanks alot!!
