[RC1] non-ascii characters is not printed in pychart pdf report example : Future stock forecast.

[vrsb]

Hello. When i select some product with cyrillic symbols inside its name and click "Future stock forecast" report, i get:

(<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>, UnicodeDecodeError('ascii', ' [MB2] Mainboard \xd0\xb2\xd1\x8b\xd0\xb0ASUStek A7V8X-X', 17, 18, 'ordinal not in range(128)'), <traceback object at 0x02AAF4B8>)

The same thing happens with custom reports like "Daily sales turnover over one year" of report_sale module, if you translate the name of the report as non-ascii string.

I set as wishlist as I think these reports must be rewriten completly for v6.1

@Fabien but it let them unusable by now with that coding

[Tobias G. Pfeiffer (tgpfeiffer)]

This is not only true for cyrillic letters, but also for (I guess) anything non-ascii, like German umlauts -- also in 6.1. The critical point is:

    File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pychart/font.py", line 374, in unaligned_get_dimension
      for line in unicode(text).split('\n'):
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)

I know that encodings are always a hassle, but I guess adding ".decode('utf-8')" somewhere in that line should help?
