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. *** System failure. Ticket nr. 40ed54ac-5bec-4ada-b383-d0fac652b141. Please contact your administrator.
