Re: Font Awesome & Dompdf

Did you try with @font-face, with the TTF file ?

Or you can use the font installer in www/fonts.php (via web, at the bottom of the page).

Hey there, 

is there a way to use Fontawesome in Dompdf? I tried to import it in the dompdf fonts folder but the font is not displayed. :( 

reference:

http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/

I used the fontinstaller and it generated 3 files within the fonts folder "fontawesome-webfont.ttf", "fontawesome-webfont.ufm" and "fontawesome-webfont.umf.php. 

As a result of that, the codes(f.e.) standing for a character, disappeared  but were not replaced with one of the icons of fontawesome.

what do you mean with @font-face?

thanks for the quick reply.

By @font-face I mean this : http://pxd.me/dompdf/www/test/css_at_font_face.html (see http://pxd.me/dompdf/www/test/css_at_font_face.html).

Do you specify the right font-family ?

If you've installed the font then something like the following should be sufficient:

<p style="font-family: FontAwesome, sans-serif">icon-music (&#xf001;)</p>

Of course, make sure your font-family name matches whatever you used to name the font when you installed it. If you're not sure you can look it up in dompdf/lib/fonts/dompdf_font_family_cache.php (or dompdf_font_family_cache.dist.php).

Ah okay this one worked for me: <i class="icon-ok green">icon-ok (&#xf00c;)</i> Thanks for your Help! Great tool!
