SchoolTool

Custom fonts for PDF no longer working in 2.8.4

Asked by Daniel Owens on 2016-01-12

Previously I was able to set up Schooltool to use Dejavu fonts instead of Ubuntu (to get the full set of glyphs for Vietnamese).

I did the following:

* I installed the Dejavu font package.
* In /etc/schooltool/standard/schooltool.conf, under reportlab_fontdir, I added: reportlab_fontdir /usr/share/fonts/opentype/liberation:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu
* In /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/schooltool/app/pdf.py: for font_map I changed to the following:
font_map = {
    'Arial_Normal': 'LiberationSans-Regular.ttf',
    'Arial_Bold': 'LiberationSans-Bold.ttf',
    'Arial_Italic': 'LiberationSans-Italic.ttf',
    'Arial_Bold_Italic': 'LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf',
    'Times_New_Roman': 'LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf',
    'Times_New_Roman_Bold': 'LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf',
    'Times_New_Roman_Italic': 'LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf',
    'Times_New_Roman_Bold_Italic': 'LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Regular': 'Ubuntu-R.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Bold': 'Ubuntu-B.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Italic': 'Ubuntu-RI.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Bold_Italic': 'Ubuntu-BI.ttf',
    'Ubuntu_Regular': 'DejaVuSans.ttf',
    'Ubuntu_Bold': 'DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Italic': 'DejaVuSans-Italic.ttf',
# 'Ubuntu_Bold_Italic': 'DejaVuSans-BoldItalic.ttf',
    }

Previously this worked. But I see now with 2.8.4 it does not work. Is there any way to fix this? Ideally I would like the PDF output to be configurable so that I can choose the font easily within Schooltool. But if not, I would like to be able to make this change myself. Another option would be to choose the Noto fonts rather than Ubuntu fonts since the former support the full range of glyphs.

Anyway, any guidance would be welcome. Traceback is below the asterisks.

Sorry, forgot that part. I get the message when I try to generate something like a report card or transcript. Schooltool tries to create the PDF but then fails with an error message, so I ran the traceback.

I too have the exact same issue. Is there any way we can change fonts easier. I couldn't get reports to render Khmer script correctly.
