I am using wkhtmltopdf to convert HTML files in PDF format; it gives surprisingly good results, rendering the PDF exactly as WebKit would do.

I am using Google Web F

Answer 1

I've just tested that using the @importnotation works:

<style>
@import 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat';
</style>

I'm using django-wkhtmltopdf version 2.0.3

Answer 2

To convert HTML to PDF by wkhtmltopdf try to avoid woff font face. Use the truetype format of the Google Web Fonts with base64 encode.

Recently I tried to use a Google web font from Google Web Fonts. In the browser it shows correctly but it doesn't show after converting HTML to PDF.

After searching the web extensively, at last, I found tools to encode fonts to the base64 format and also got CSS for @font-face.

Make sure you're not declaring what font you are printing with in your print stylesheet.
