you just need to download some fonts into the reportlab/fonts folder you can get 
them here

http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/pfbfer-20070710.zip

alternatively try removing 'png' from the list of outputs ie formats=['pdf'] in 
the save command. I think we need those T1 font pfbs for renderPM output, but 
not for PDF.
