13 | Sets the font used to print character strings. It is mandatory to call this method
|
---|
14 | at least once before printing text or the resulting document would not be valid.
|
---|
15 | <BR>
|
---|
16 | The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts
|
---|
17 | use Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe).
|
---|
18 | <BR>
|
---|
19 | The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is retained from page
|
---|
20 | to page.
|
---|
21 | <BR>
|
---|
22 | If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize().
|
---|
23 | <BR>
|
---|
24 | <BR>
|
---|
25 | <B>Note: </B>for the standard fonts, the font metric files must be accessible. There are three
|
---|
26 | possibilities for this:
|
---|
27 | <BR>
|
---|
28 | <BR>
|
---|
29 | <UL>
|
---|
30 | <LI>They are in the current directory (the one where the running script lies)
|
---|
31 | <BR>
|
---|
32 | <LI>They are in one of the directories defined by the <TT>include_path</TT> parameter
|
---|
33 | <BR>
|
---|
34 | <LI>They are in the directory defined by the <TT>FPDF_FONTPATH</TT> constant
|
---|
35 | </UL>
|
---|
36 | Example for the last case (note the trailing slash):
|
---|
37 | <BR>
|
---|
38 | <BR>
|
---|
39 | <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"><TR><TD>

40 | <TT>
|

41 | define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font/');<BR>
|
---|
42 | require('fpdf.php');
|
---|
43 | </TT>
|
---|
44 | </TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
|
---|
45 | If the file corresponding to the requested font is not found, the error "Could not include
|
---|
46 | font metric file" is generated.

51 | insensitive):

|

53 | <LI><TT>Courier</TT> (fixed-width)
