please help me



from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing
from reportlab.graphics.charts.barcharts import VerticalBarChart
from reportlab.graphics import renderPM

d = Drawing(300, 200)

        chart = VerticalBarChart()
        chart.width = 260
        chart.height = 160
        chart.x = 20
        chart.y = 20
        chart.data = [[1,2], [3,4]]
        chart.categoryAxis.categoryNames = ['foo', 'bar']
        chart.valueAxis.valueMin = 0

        d.add(chart)
        #d.save(fnRoot='test', formats=['png', 'pdf'])
        renderPM.drawToFile(d, 'example.png', 'PNG')

Did you check this one ("Fixing font error in renderpm")?

yes, I downloaded pfbfer.zip and I put it in the directory "C: \ Python27 \ Lib \ site-packages \ reportlab \ fonts" but still the same problem

I think reportlab is not finding PFB files. On GNU/Linux, I would use "strace"
to check where is it looking for them.

Alternatively, a not so old message in this same list mentions about re-running
"pip install reportlab":
