<h1>SetFont</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<code>SetFont(<b>string</b> family [, <b>string</b> style [, <b>float</b> size]])</code>
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Description</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the font used to print character strings. It is mandatory to call this method
|
|
|
|
|
at least once before printing text or the resulting document would not be valid.
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
use the Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe).

|
|
<br>
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is kept from page
|
2009-03-06 03:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
to page.
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize().

<strong>Note:</strong> the font definition files must be accessible. They are searched successively in:
|
2009-03-06 03:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The directory defined by the <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code> constant (if this constant is defined)</li>
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The <code>font</code> directory located in the same directory as <code>fpdf.php</code> (if it exists)</li>
|
2009-03-06 03:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>The directories accessible through <code>include()</code></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
Example using <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code>:
|
2009-03-06 03:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
<div class="doc-source">
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<pre><code>define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font');
|
2009-03-06 03:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
require('fpdf.php');</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
2011-11-03 02:25:38 +00:00
|
|
|
If the file corresponding to the requested font is not found, the error "Could not include font
|
|
|
|
|
definition file" is raised.
