FPDF add font not working

[peibol]

Hi there:

I'ts supposed we can add fonts from whatever the folder we want to FPDF. For example, in the static/fonts folder that I've created for this purpose:

def numbers():

class MyFPDF(FPDF, HTMLMixin):

pass

pdf=MyFPDF()

pdf.add_page()

pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', URL('static','fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf', scheme=True, host=True), uni=True)

pdf.set_font('DejaVuSans','B',12)

pdf.cell(40,100,"Hello")

response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf'

return pdf.output(dest='S')

But I'm getting 

<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> TTF Font file not found: http://127.0.0.1:8083/myeducenter/static/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf

And if I paste that URL in the browser I get the file...

Cheers

Pablo

It seems that .add_font takes an o.s. path as argument. See http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/AddFont

Thanks Alan!

pdf.add_font('DejaVuSans', '', os.path.join(request.folder,'static','fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf'), uni=True)

It obviously works.
