Hello! I want to use Cyrillic in tables, but reportlab outputs black squares instead of characters. Here is an example code:
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Table, TableStyle
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
def table_fonts():
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("table_fonts.pdf", pagesize=letter)
story = []
data = [['ф_{}'.format(x) for x in range(1, 6)],
['а', 'ф', 'ф', 'ф', 'ф']
]
tblstyle = TableStyle([('TEXTFONT', (0, 0), (0, 1), 'FreeSans') ])
tbl = Table(data)
tbl.setStyle(tblstyle)
story.append(tbl)
doc.build(story)
if __name__ == '__main__':
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('FreeSans', 'FreeSans.ttf'))
table_fonts()Python 3.5.3, reportlab 3.5.13
