AddFont

AddFont(string family [, string style [, string file [, string dir]]])

Description

Imports a TrueType, OpenType or Type1 font and makes it available. It is necessary to generate a font definition file first with the MakeFont utility.

The definition file (and the font file itself when embedding) must be present in:

• The directory indicated by the 4th parameter (if it is set)
• The directory indicated by the ForgePDF_FONTPATH constant (if it is defined)
• The font directory located in the same directory as fpdf.php

If the file is not found, the error "Could not include font definition file" will be generated.

Parameters

family Font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will substitute the corresponding font.

style Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

• empty string: regular
• B: bold
• I: italic
• BI or IB: bold italic

The default value is regular.

file The font definition file name. By default, it is built from the family and style, in lowercase and without space.

dir The directory where to load the definition file. If not specified, the default directory will be used.

Example

$pdf->AddFont('Comic', 'I');

is equivalent to:

$pdf->AddFont('Comic', 'I', 'comici.php');
