adding new font in dompdf

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In my case, I solved it:

1. Installing load_font.php from here: https://github.com/dompdf/utils/blob/master/load_font.php

   1.1. Create a new file in your root folder from your project and save.

   1.2. Next, run this line in your command line: php load_font.php FONTNAME FONTPATH/fonts/EXAMPLEFONT.ttf

2. Search and open the file dompdf_font_family_cache.php and update your file in this way (eg):

   'poppins' => 
   array(
   
   'normal' => $rootDir . '\lib\fonts\Poppins-Light_0',
   
   ),
   

3. Go to your PDF and use your font.

These few steps maybe solve the issue. :)
