Custom Fonts for DOMPDF

pinaldesai picture pinaldesai · Sep 25, 2012 · Viewed 46.8k times · Source

I'm Using DOM PDF 0.6.0 Beta 2. I want to use custom fonts (Fonts: 'Segeo Print', 'Lucida Handwriting','Airplanes in the Night Sky') in PDF file.

I followed the guidelines to install and use fonts in my PHP Code, which is given here http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/CPDFUnicode

But I'm not able to get desire fonts in my PDF. You can find my code in this post. Please Let me know how I can resolve this issue.

<?php     
    require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

   $html = "<html>
                <head>   
                    <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;charset=utf-8'>
                    <style>
                        *{font-size:15px;}  
                        div.ClJ{font: nightsky;}   
                    </style>      
                </head>
                <body>            
                   <div class='ClJ'>This text is in DIV Element</div><br /><br />
                </body>
          </html>";

    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();    
    $dompdf->load_html($html);
    $dompdf->render();
    $pdf = $dompdf->output();
    $dompdf->stream("dompdf_out.pdf", array("Attachment" => false));

?>

  1. go to your DOMPDF folder
  2. copy your font's as .ttf (TrueType Font) or .otf (OpenType Font) into the DOMPDF's root
  3. open your command line and run
    php load_font.php your_fonts_name ./your-normal.ttf ./your-bold.ttf ./your-bold-italic.ttf
  4. DOMPDF now created Adobe Font Metrics and copied it to lib/fonts/* - you can now use it with
    font-family: your_fonts_name;
