mPDF should be able to read most TrueType Unicode font files with a .ttf extension
|
|
|
6 |
Truetype fonts with .ttf or .otf extension and .ttc TrueType collections should also work OK.
|
|
|

|

|

You will probably therefore have access to any number of fonts, but here are some useful sources for
|
|
|

open-source or free-use fonts. Many of these were included with earlier versions of mPDF:

ARABIC FONTS
|
|
|
80 |
============
|
|
|
81 |
You can use any appropriate Unicode-encoded .ttf or .ttc font file for arabic text, but
|
|
|
82 |
the font file must include the Arabic Presentation Forms-B (U+FE70–U+FEFF).
|
|
|
83 |
2 of the XW Zar fonts are included in the release.

INDIC FONTS
|
|
|
89 |
===========
|
|
|
90 |
Indic scripts e.g. Hindi, Bengali etc. use conjuct forms which have no Unicode assignment. You
|
|
|
91 |
cannot therefore use any standard .ttf font files with mPDF.
|
|
|
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
A set of fonts has been adapted to use specifically with mPDF. They are based on a set of fonts from:
|
|
|
94 |
|
|
|
95 |
http://www.cdacmumbai.in/projects/indix/e_introduction.shtml
|
|
|
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
NB These fonts are released under GNU GPL Version 2 license
|
|
|
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
You need these adapted fonts (ind_bn_1_001.ttf etc.) to work with mPDF, as the glyphs have been
|
|
|
100 |
assigned to Unicode values in the Private Use area (U+E000 ->). These are included in the
|
|
|
101 |
mPDF download.

Users of mPDF v4.x
|
|
|
106 |
------------------
|
|
|
107 |
The original indic font files do not contain a full set of even basic ASCII
|
|
|
108 |
characters. The fonts supplied have been "fixed" to include those extra
|
|
|
109 |
characters. This now works whether the font is subset or not.

Supplemental Ideographic Plane
|
|
|
119 |
==============================
|
|
|
120 |
SIP = Supplemental Ideographic Plane ( = Plane 2) = U+20000 - U+2FFFF (131072 - 196607)
|
|
|
121 |
These characters are required for the HKSCS Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set. Fonts with
|
|
|
122 |
SIP characters are commonly divided into a second file e.g. MingLiU and MingLiU-ExtB
|
|
|
123 |
|
|
|
124 |
mPDF requires 2 fonts and they should be cross-referenced in config_fonts.php e.g.
|
|
|
125 |
"sun-exta" => array(
|
|
|
126 |
'R' => "Sun-ExtA.ttf",
|
|

'sip-ext' => 'sun-extb',
