Open Source Fonts
|
||
=================
|
||
mPDF should be able to read most TrueType Unicode font files with a .ttf extension
|
||
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
|
||
============
|
||
You can use any appropriate Unicode-encoded .ttf or .ttc font file for arabic text, but
|
||
the font file must include the Arabic Presentation Forms-B (U+FE70<37>U+FEFF).
|
||
2 of the XW Zar fonts are included in the release.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
===========
|
||
INDIC FONTS
|
||
===========
|
||
Indic scripts e.g. Hindi, Bengali etc. use conjuct forms which have no Unicode assignment. You
|
||
cannot therefore use any standard .ttf font files with mPDF.
|
||
|
||
A set of fonts has been adapted to use specifically with mPDF. They are based on a set of fonts from:
|
||
|
||
http://www.cdacmumbai.in/projects/indix/e_introduction.shtml
|
||
|
||
NB These fonts are released under GNU GPL Version 2 license
|
||
|
||
You need these adapted fonts (ind_bn_1_001.ttf etc.) to work with mPDF, as the glyphs have been
|
||
assigned to Unicode values in the Private Use area (U+E000 ->). These are included in the
|
||
mPDF download.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Users of mPDF v4.x
|
||
------------------
|
||
The original indic font files do not contain a full set of even basic ASCII
|
||
characters. The fonts supplied have been "fixed" to include those extra
|
||
characters. This now works whether the font is subset or not.

Supplemental Ideographic Plane
|
||
==============================
|
||
SIP = Supplemental Ideographic Plane ( = Plane 2) = U+20000 - U+2FFFF (131072 - 196607)
|
||
These characters are required for the HKSCS Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set. Fonts with
|
||
SIP characters are commonly divided into a second file e.g. MingLiU and MingLiU-ExtB
|
||
|
||
mPDF requires 2 fonts and they should be cross-referenced in config_fonts.php e.g.
|
||
"sun-exta" => array(
|
||
'R' => "Sun-ExtA.ttf",
|
||
'sip-ext' => 'sun-extb',
|
||
),
|
||
"sun-extb" => array(
|
||
'R' => "Sun-ExtB.ttf",
|
||
),
|
||
|
||
--OR--
|
||
(NB these ones also define the font number within the TTC Collection as TTCfontID)
|
||
'mingliu' => array (
|
||
'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
|
||
'TTCfontID' => array (
|
||
'R' => 1,
|
||
),
|
||
'sip-ext' => 'mingliu-extb',
|
||
),
|
||
'mingliu-extb' => array (
|
||
'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
|
||
'TTCfontID' => array (
|
||
'R' => 1,
|
||
),
|
||
),
|
||
'mingliu_hkscs' => array (
|
||
'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
|
||
'TTCfontID' => array (
|
||
'R' => 3,
|
||
),
|
||
'sip-ext' => 'mingliu_hkscs-extb',
|
||
),
|
||
'mingliu_hkscs-extb' => array (
|
||
'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
|
||
'TTCfontID' => array (
|
||
'R' => 3,
|
||
),
