for "full" chinese interface you have to download the translationfile from tinyforge: http://tinyforge.org/projects/chinese/

Would be great if you contribute to it because the translation is NOT finished and there might be some mistakes in it. I'm working further in it.

on linux 4.2.0-rc2 to use Verdana fonts

1) install package ttf-ms-fonts OR install verdana.ttf into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/reportlab/fonts/

2) edit bin/report/render/rml2pdf/__init__.py
add

from reportlab.lib.fonts import addMapping
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfbase.cidfonts import CIDFont, findCMapFile
from reportlab.lib.fonts import addMapping


pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('verdana','verdana.ttf'))

for facename in ['verdana']:
addMapping(facename, 0, 0, facename) #normal
addMapping(facename, 0, 1, facename) #italic
addMapping(facename, 1, 0, facename) #bold
addMapping(facename, 1, 1, facename) #italic and bold

3)edit your <file>.rml and change any fontName="" to fontName="Verdana"

for version>4.x.x you can look up searched font-folders in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/reportlab/rl_config.py

I copied my ttf-files to:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype

although it's not ment for asian fonts here's another thread dealing with UTF-8 reporting:

and here is the link with the solution presented in the above mentioned thread:

The nusunt link now 404s.

Can these changes be rolled into the main release, perhaps as a module? I have just upgraded, and now I need to make these changes again.
