I'm afraid this is a failure on the part of reportlab's font handling. For almost all user access the font is indeed a string; unfortunately we need also to load data for a typical font (eg arial) so that it can be used properly. To load the data properly requires other bits of reportlab which use rl_config. Being able to specify both the font token to use and the method of initialization simultaneously seems useful. -- Robin Becker
