<h1>SetFont</h1>
|
|
|
10 |
<code>SetFont(<b>string</b> family [, <b>string</b> style [, <b>float</b> size]])</code>
|
|
|
11 |
<h2>Description</h2>
|
|
|
12 |
Sets the font used to print character strings. It is mandatory to call this method
|
|
|
13 |
at least once before printing text or the resulting document would not be valid.
|
|
|
14 |
<br>
|
|
|
15 |
The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts
|
|
|
16 |
use Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe).
|
|
|
17 |
<br>
|
|
|
18 |
The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is retained from page
|
|
|
19 |
to page.
|
|
|
20 |
<br>
|
|
|
21 |
If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize().
|
|
|
22 |
<br>
|
|
|
23 |
<br>
|
|
|
24 |
<strong>Note:</strong> the font metric files must be accessible. They are searched successively in:
|
|
|
25 |
<ul>
|
|
|
26 |
<li>The directory defined by the <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code> constant (if this constant is defined)</li>
|
|
|
27 |
<li>The <code>font</code> directory located in the directory containing <code>fpdf.php</code> (if it exists)</li>
|
|
|
28 |
<li>The directories accessible through <code>include()</code></li>
|
|
|
29 |
</ul>
|
|
|
30 |
Example defining <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code> (note the mandatory trailing slash):
|
|
|
31 |
<div class="doc-source">
|
|
|
32 |
<pre><code>define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font/');
|
|
|
33 |
require('fpdf.php');</code></pre>
|
|
|
34 |
</div>
|
|
|
35 |
If the file corresponding to the requested font is not found, the error "Could not include
|
|
|
36 |
font metric file" is issued.
|
|
|
37 |
<h2>Parameters</h2>

<br>

|
|
