It does not. (Running this in a docker container if that matters)

Does anyone have troubleshooting tips for figuring out why an embedded TTF font does not work in reportlab (just shows rectangles)? I'm trying to use https://grandzebu.net/informatique/codbar/code128.ttf (yes, I would like to use a barcode font instead of the built in barcode generator due to quality issues when printing on a low DPI printer)
Odd. I just tried this, and it worked perfectly:
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import LETTER
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
pdfmetrics.registerFont( TTFont( 'code128', '/tmp/code128.ttf'))
canv = canvas.Canvas( 'code.pdf', pagesize=LETTER )
canv.setPageCompression( 0 )
canv.setFont( 'code128', 14 )
canv.drawString( 100, 100, "0123456789" )
canv.showPage()
canv.save()
Does it work for you?
