Open Source Fonts

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.
7
 
8
You will probably therefore have access to any number of fonts, but here are some useful sources for
9
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.
84
 
85
 
86
 
87
===========
88
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",
127
		'sip-ext' => 'sun-extb',
128
		),
129
	"sun-extb" => array(
130
		'R' => "Sun-ExtB.ttf",
131
		),
132
 
133
--OR--
134
(NB these ones also define the font number within the TTC Collection as TTCfontID)
135
	'mingliu' => array (
136
		'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
137
		'TTCfontID' => array (
138
			'R' => 1,
139
		),
140
		'sip-ext' => 'mingliu-extb',
141
	),
142
	'mingliu-extb' => array (
143
		'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
144
		'TTCfontID' => array (
145
			'R' => 1,
146
		),
147
	),
148
	'mingliu_hkscs' => array (
149
		'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
150
		'TTCfontID' => array (
151
			'R' => 3,
152
		),
153
		'sip-ext' => 'mingliu_hkscs-extb',
154
	),
155
	'mingliu_hkscs-extb' => array (
156
		'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
157
		'TTCfontID' => array (
158
			'R' => 3,
