adding font to mPDF

Question

I\'m getting the following error when I try and generate a PDF using the mPDF class:

TTF file \"C:/wamp/www/inc/mpdf/ttfonts/verdana.ttf\": invalid checksum          


        

Answer 1

Following are the steps to add new font family in mpdf library:

1. Download the font zip and unzip it.
2. Add new newFont.ttf font file(s) to this location /mpdf/ttfonts folder.

3. Edit /mpdf/config_fonts.php OR /mpdf/src/config/FontVariables.php to add an entry to the $this->fontdata array for the new font file(s). Like:

   $this->fontdata = array(
       "newFont" => array(
       'R' => "newFont-Regular.ttf",
       'B' => "newFont-Bold.ttf",
       'I' => "newFont-Italic.ttf",
       'BI' => "newFont-BoldItalic.ttf",
   ),
   

4. font-family: 'newFont'; is now available in the stylesheets.

5. $mpdfObj = new mPDF('', '', 'newFont'); $mpdfObj->SetFont('newFont');

6. Now your new font is added.
