How to implement custom fonts in TCPDF

Question

In TCPDF, there are only a few fonts to choose from, to create pdf files. I want to set Tahoma as my pdf font. How can I include Tahoma in TCPDF??<

Answer 1

I don't know anything about tcpdf or php, but I found this:

http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_033.phps

Apparently you just use the font's name, not the file name.

Strike one!

Okay, how about this page. To prep a font to be used by TCPDF, you have to run the file through a command line utility and a PHP script.

$ ttf2ufm -a -F myfont.ttf

And then:
$ php -q makefont.php myfont.ttf myfont.ufm
or
MakeFont(string $fontfile, string $fmfile [, boolean $embedded [, $enc="cp1252" [, $patch=array()]]])

ttf2ufm is distributed with TCPDF in the TCPDF/fonts directory.
