I’ve got PDF Writer installed and working. But for the PDF files that  
I want to generate, I need to use a non-standard font (Trade Gothic).  
I have the font installed on the system, but my RoR app never seems to  
find the font.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks!
