Font Problems
Gorka Leguina
Trying to install new fonts, I get this message:
Unable to locate the ttf2afm / ttf2pt1 executable (checked /var/www/
gorka/pruebas/dompdf0.6/lib/ttf2ufm/ttf2ufm-src/ttf2pt1).
The executable is in that directory, but .exe?? (I'm on Ubuntu 9.10)
Is that my problem?? Thnx.
(dompdf0.6)

ttf2ufm instead of ttf2pt1. Try changing that setting and see if it
works. You might also have to modify the permission on the file to
enable execute access.
Note: I haven't had a chance to test this to see if it even works. I
compiled a copy of the executable for my system ... you might have to
do the same for it to work correctly. When the next release is closer
to completion we'll spend some time on this feature to make it a
little more accessible to everyone.

Hi,
The problem was so simple... this was the TTF2AM definition:
define("TTF2AFM", DOMPDF_LIB_DIR ."/ttf2ufm/ttf2ufm-src/ttf2pt1");
and this the executable name: ttf2pt1.1
Just had to change the name on the location... "/ttf2ufm/ttf2ufm-src/
ttf2pt1.1"
Problem solved!!
Thnx,

There's something that I'm doing wrong because I'm not able to aim my
objective...
I'm using a two column text with special characters like ", ñ, á,
é, ... (also tried htmlName ("...) and htmlNumber ("...)),
but with that kind of characters, the positioning of my "<div
class="column_box">" it's not respected because the textline is longer
that it should be. Is the same problem as using tables with that kind
of characters.
I loaded the msscorefonts on the dompdf fonts whit ttf2pt but this
didn't resolve my problem (as Brian said in another post, I've to made
my own font). However, I notice some changes on generated PDF font.
How can I create my own font with that kind of special characteres,
with DOMPDF_DEFAULT_FONT to Serif??
I'm using "body, form, input {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-
serif;}" and I want to respect the current font generated...
Thank u so much!!!

Your additional problems may be related to a bug, see this issue
report:
http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/issues/detail?id=29&q=font
The issue has been addressed in the developer version of DOMPDF, but a
download for that version isn't widely published. If you would like to
try it out, check out this post:

I apologize for insisting but I still having troubles... This are the
steps I followed:
- I'm creating CourierNew, TimesNewRoman and Verdana fonts (with Bold,
Italic and BoldItalic).
- As I'm on Ubuntu, I wasn't able to use the ttf2ufm.exe from
dompdf0.6/lib/ttf2ufm/ so I decided to download ttf2pt1-3.4.4 from
http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net and compiling it... so I got the
ttf2pt1 running on my computer. (I didn't use the load_font.php
because it didn't do the conversion, only copy the .ttf to the
destination file)
- I used it to create my fonts, getting 2 docs for each font .afm
and .t1a.
- I made a backup of the original dompdf0.6/lib/fonts/ and copy my
generated fonts there.
- I changed the dompdf_font_family_cache.dist, pointing each font to
my new generated fonts with the right name.
- Also, I created the dompdf_font_family_cache directory and copy the
all fonts and .dist file (I'm not sure this was right... but I read it
from http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Installation
- Got: define("DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED", false);
The result of the PDF generation is the same... what am I doing
wrong??
Thank u so much for ur time!!!
