All the places where 'font' tag used is as a child of 'title' tag. And 'face' is the only attribute used for the font tag in tests.
The <font> tag, like the <b>, <i>, and <u> tag are features of Reportlab's paragraph implementation. The <title> tag is just a special case of a paragraph. So it should probably be considered a documentation bug that those paragraph-internal tags are not in the reference. Further, I think the <font> tag was new in ReportLab 2.0 or 2.1.
Now 'title' has a 'fontName' attribute, from the DTD and reference I deduced that tests should use this instead of 'font' tag, is it correct ?
No, because the 'fontName' can only set the font for the entire title and not just a sub-string in the title.
There is another issue when I run tests in level 2, this can be solved by using few more arguments to Popen . (see the patch attached)
Okay, what OS are you using? Is it still occurring?
There is one more remaining issue while parsing 'tag-textField.xml' I have given the trace back below, but if I parse this file individually, there is no test failure ! May be this is due to tests are not cleaned up properly.
No this is because ReportLab is not thread-safe. Heck, it is not even safe to run multiple renderings in the same Python session. The level 2 tests show off a solution that solves this problem by starting a new sub-process for each rendering.
