Yes, all of us who don't live in english spoken countries share the same
problem.
There are two solutions for this issue, depending on the charset you need.
The easy one is executing:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("latin-1")
In the function you are generating the pdf. This works for me with accents
or spanish ñ.
But, if there are some chars not available in latin-1 encoding (like the
european currency €) the second solution is loading a true type font:
As an example:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")
pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '',os.path.join(request.folder,'static',
'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf'), uni=True)
This should work like a charm (if you leave the file
DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf in the static folder of your application)
