.........

there is a branch of the main reportlab code that has some support for rtl fonts.

See

https://eiger/svn/public/reportlab/branches/rtl-support

people have been using it with pyfribidi to generate documents with various rtl
languages including Arabic.

I have gone through this link, but I couldn't get a clear solution.
also i tried the steps in the following (upto the section ::Fixing OpenERP), but it also shows failure.

I have read this is under development from the link
http://www.reportlab.com/software/dev/

Thanks in Advance
