[Geany] Default Geany font for Ubuntu Linux

[Jason Oster]

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. :\
