The FPDF library is made up of the following elements:
|
|
|
2 |
|
|
|
3 |
- the main file, fpdf.php, which contains the class
|
|
|
4 |
- the font metric files (located in the font directory of this archive)
|
|
|
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
The metric files are necessary as soon as you want to output some text in a document.
|
|
|
7 |
They can be accessed from three different locations:
|
|
|
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
- the directory defined by the FPDF_FONTPATH constant (if this constant is defined)
|
|
|
10 |
- the font directory located in the directory containing fpdf.php (as it is the case in this archive)
|
|
|
11 |
- the directories accessible through include()
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
|
13 |
Here is an example defining FPDF_FONTPATH (note the mandatory final slash):
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font/');
|
|
|
16 |
require('fpdf.php');
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
If the files are not accessible, the SetFont() method will produce the following error:
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
FPDF error: Could not include font metric file
