dompdf (Arabic PDF without installing a new font)

[nims]

Hi

I am trying to devolop arabic pdf using dompdf.As in the discussion
forum its suggesting to install new font which supports arabic using
load-font.php.

The problem is that we are using a shared server and we dont have the
permission to install new fonts.So can anyone of you suggest a
solution so that these arabic pdf's can be generated without
installing a new font. ie with the help of any change in php file.

Please help.I am in emergency.Waiting for a fast and good solution

Thanks in advance.

You should search this group on using different fonts. There are lots
of options and answers.

Load_font for example.

You don't have to install a font in the way you are thinking about it,
i.e. as part of the operating system. You have to ... er ... "load"
the font into DOMPDF. You typically do this using the load_font.php
tool, but since you are on a shared server you probably wouldn't be
able to install the ttf2ufm program that is required to process the
font. You're not completely out of luck, however, as there is a test
version of a web-based font prep tool. Take a look at the appropriate
thread and see if that helps:

i think you can modify in dompdf version in the local server using wamp then upload the new version with the new font
