Fpdf and Greek Characters

  • Hello,
    I have a gift card plugin and I need to install manually the Greek fonts which is not supported by default. So far I created with “makefont” function two versions of my font with .ttf and .z extensions.
    I manually upload them to the appropriate directory. Now, to anyone who may know, I need to to call the “addfont” and “setfont” functions.
    This is what I do but no matter what, the default font “Arial” stays the same.
    I have no experience on this. Perhaps there is something wrong with how I add the code. The fonts are called “AkaAcidDosisRegular” and I must add the following lines:

    $pdf->AddFont(‘customfamily’,”,’customfont’);
$pdf->SetFont(‘customfont’,’x’,16);

    Can you help me? Where I must enter those two lines? In the beginning or at the end of the document? It is a find and replace action?
    I know it is a tough question but the answer is crucial to me, since it is the only plugin for non – woocommerce stores, that does this job.
    The whole code can be found here in .doc format

    Call AddFont() and SetFont() methods as soon as a new FPDF object is created. See the tutorial at the FPDF site:
    https://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto7.htm

    If you still have difficulty, the FPDF forum is probably a better place to seek assistance:

    Hi @bcworkz
    If I sent you the html code and the names of the fonts, that I have already uploaded in the fpdf directory, will you be able to help me?
    I don’t know to what part of the html I must add the addfont & setfont actions.
    I have already tried your suggestions; I followed the above guides but they didn’t work. Can you make the extra step to help me?
    Thank you,
    Eddie

    The HTML is not where PDF fonts get added. They are added in the PHP code that is generating the PDF file. After you add and set a font, subsequent text content defined by using the Cell() class method will be rendered in that font.
