I'm not sure what reportlab is, but if you can generate the PDFs with either Cairo (and it's PDF backend) or OpenOffice.Org, these may be the best solutions for you.
In either case, these are going to use Pango for the text layout, which will auto-magically choose the right glyphs and everything. :\

Geany uses the Scintilla text editor widget, which in turn uses a text layout/rendering library called Pango to do international text rendering. I believe (and someone correct me if I am wrong...) that Pango does not use one specific font to do all of its rendering, but will choose a "font" based on the glyph that it needs to render.
For example, Geany simply requests the generic "monospace" font alias by default. But as you can see in the screenshot, the Asian glyphs are not displayed with a fixed width.
Some more appropriate resources to check might be:

That is bad news. :-( I've used pango before, but I was hoping that there is a simple font that can do this for me. Unfortunately, this won't work with reportlab and PDF. :-( _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list Geany@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
