html - php mPDF, impossible to set font-family and font-size ← (PHP, CSS, HTML)

Solution:

There are two ways with which u can add your font to generated pdf:

1. Setting font to mpdf

Keep your fonts in ttfonts folder in mpdf lib. Then, in config_fonts.php file add your font in array :

$this->fontdata = array( "YourNewFont" => array( 'R' => "YourNewFont.ttf"));

Then set font to the mpdf object using :

$mpdf->SetFont('YourNewFont');

Now, your fornt is set. Using $mpdf->WriteText('My Text'); will add text to pdf with the set font.

2. Use font in Html

Add your font family in a css file using @font-face {}

Then, import that css file like below:

$stylesheet = file_get_contents('MyStyleWithFont.css');

$mpdf->WriteHTML($stylesheet,1);

Now, you can use your font with html. Define font-family for the text in either css file or inline with html. Use $mpdf->WriteHTML(My Text); to print html.

Solution:

I know i'm late, hope it would be helpful for someone in future. While creating mPDF object set the mod parameter as 'UTF-8' or ' ' instead of 'c'. 'c' will force system to use core fonts only and thus neglect the custom font.

$mpdf = new mPDF('UTF-8','A4')

Note: this is applicable for mPDF v6 and below
