| 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> |

---|
| 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. |

| 52 | <UL> |
---|
| 53 | <LI><TT>Courier</TT> (fixed-width) |
