My apologies, too. I thought I was reading[1] a different stage of the 
initialization.
You are true that if every document tries to parse/register a TTFont of the 
Chinese set of symbols, a lot of time will be spent.
But, may I suggest the alternative to just register the font once, (with its 
unique name), like l10n_ch does, wouldn't that solve the problem, too?

I will keep a note, that some points of ReportLab may need to be 
patched/hacked at some point. Like thread-safety and the ability to have a 
'context' for report-specific settings.


[1] I read this patch in a hurry, I admit.
