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 in case of embedding) must be present in:

The directory indicated by the 4th parameter (if that parameter is set)
The directory indicated by the FPDF_FONTPATH constant (if that constant 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" is raised.

Parameters

family

Font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will override 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 name of the font definition file.
By default, it is built from the family and style, in lower case with no 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');
