I have a csv with utf-8 characters that I want to convert to a pdf using Python's fpdf package. When I execute the following code, I receive the error, RuntimeError: TTF Font file not found: C:\Windows\Fonts\DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf Here is the full stack trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/abcd/PycharmProjects/bronze/pdfParser.py", line 40, in <module> pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', "C:\Windows\Fonts\DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf", uni=True) File "C:\Users\abcd\PycharmProjects\bronze\venv\lib\site-packages\fpdf\fpdf.py", line 469, in add_font raise RuntimeError("TTF Font file not found: %s" % fname) RuntimeError: TTF Font file not found: C:\Windows\Fonts\DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf Here are the relevant parts of my code: from fpdf import FPDF lines = [] with open("intake.csv", "r") as f: data = f.readlines() for line in data: lines.append(line[1:-1].split('","')) pdf = FPDF() pdf.add_page() # This following line SHOULD work, but does not pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', "C:\Windows\Fonts\DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf", uni=True) pdf.set_font('DejaVu', '', 14) for entry in range(0, len(lines[0])): question = str(entry) + ") " + lines[0][entry] pdf.cell(40, 10, question, ln=1) pdf.cell(40, 10, lines[1][entry], ln=1) # make a new line pdf.cell(40, 10, "", ln=1) pdf.cell(40, 10, "", ln=1) pdf.output("tuto-test.pdf", "F") When I run this I should get a nice little pdf. Instead it yells at me that I do not have a font installed. I absolutely do have this font installed on my PC. I've installed the font directly and received a message from my OS, "Font is already installed" basically. I have also restarted both my PC and my PyCharm program. I found a Google Groups thread related to my problem but I couldn't figure out what the request.folder thing is (NOT requests, "request", no s). https://groups.google.com/g/web2py/c/UZf7qJ6KDa8 Seems like a really niche problem so if anyone can solve my problem I'll be really impressed.
