Custom Fonts for DOMPDF

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));

?>

Answer

  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;
