To add new font Arvo in DOMPdf I updated file dompdf_font_family_cache.dist and added following code -

'arvo' => 
array (
  'normal' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'Arvo-Regular',
  'bold' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'Arvo-Bold',
  'italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'Arvo-Italic',
  'bold_italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'Arvo-BoldItalic',
),

I included font files in lib/fonts directory I added style sheet in html -

font-family: arvo;

But new font is not added in result pdf. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Instead of manually modifying dompdf_font_family_cache you should use load_font.php or (in dompdf 0.6.0 beta 3) the web-based installer located at www/fonts.php.
