We are creating a pdf on a Windows machine with:

pdf-creator/write_pdf.py

Lines 113 to 114 in 67768bc

# ERROR: xhtml2pdf cannot render Russian letters without patching
convertHtmlToPdf(html_out, locate('out.pdf'))

The call to do it is:

 python -m write_pdf

The Russian text in section header is illegible:

default

Possible remedies:

Selecting a dead-simple path to font (D:/arial.ttf) without cyrillic letters in it helped. Other solution could have been an URL to the font.

The solution is:

pdf-creator/write_pdf.py

Lines 34 to 44 in 27bbccd

# пробовали:
# @font-face { font-family: Arial; src: url('fonts/arial.ttf') }
template_doc = """<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>{{ page_header }}</title>
<style type="text/css">
@page { size: A4; margin: 1cm; }
@font-face { font-family: Arial; src: url('D:/arial.ttf') }

Tracing errors with logging as:

https://github.com/mini-kep/pdf-creator/blob/master/write_pdf.py#L10-L12

gave an such a wierd xhtml2pdf behaviour with __dummy__:

2018-06-26 22:12:05,617 - xhtml2pdf - DEBUG - URLParts: (ParseResult(scheme='c', netloc='', path='\\Users\\Евгений\\Documents\\GitHub\\pdf-creator\\__dummy__', params='', query='', fragment=''), 'c')
2018-06-26 22:12:05,619 - xhtml2pdf - DEBUG - Unrecognized scheme, assuming local file path
