How to implement custom fonts in TCPDF

Question

In TCPDF, there are only a few fonts to choose from, to create pdf files. I want to set Tahoma as my pdf font. How can I include Tahoma in TCPDF??<

Answer 1

the below lines will generate 3 files in ur fonts folder 1.rotisserifi56.php 2.rotisserifi56.ctg 3.rotisserifi56.rar

    use this to generate the required php and other files
$fontname = $this->pdf->addTTFfont('D:/wamp/www/projectname/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/tcpdf/fonts/Rotis Serif Italic 56.ttf', 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 32);

    // use the font
    $this->pdf->SetFont($fontname, '', 14, '', false);

Now,

use the fonts like this:

 $this->pdf->AddFont('rotisserifi56', '', 'rotisserifi56.php');
$this->pdf->SetFont('rotisserifi56');

--hope this helps some one :)
