Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I noticed that barcodes weren't showing up on my stock.picking report, so I looked at the server's output and saw this:
RenderPMError: Can't setFont(Times-Roman) missing the T1 files?
Originally <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: makeT1Font() argument 2 must be string, not None
Do you have to get special fonts in order to use barcodes? I'm using CentOS 7, if that makes any difference.
Got it sorted. Simply installing the reportlab fonts in a directory beneath site-packages was not enough. I found that reportlab was already installed, but decided to try following the instruction "pip install reportlab". Found out that pip was not installed! So, I ran "sudo yum install python-pip" (I'm on CentOS 7). I then ran "sudo pip install reportlab --upgrade" and restarted the Odoo server. Voila! Working barcodes!
Hope this helps someone else.
In our case we were prompted to additionally run
pip install --upgrade pip
before running:
pip install reportlab --upgrade
Your solution works. Thank you.

I tried the steps in this post (https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/renderpmerror-cant-setfont-times-roman-missing-the-t1-files-29688) but found that I don't have a reportlabs folder in python2.7/site-packages. Is there an additional module needed?
I created the folder reportlabs/fonts under the python2.7/site-packages directory, and unzipped the font files there. I still get the same error. Any other ideas?
