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?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,
|
|
),
|
