Try to use custom font

[mj-dev]

I am using your Magento PDF Generator module in version 1.2.9. And I want to use a custom font: Futura. I tried with css rules and modifications directly in your module, but without success. The default_font config doesnt work for my font. And my css rule are override by default font.

Is it possible to use a custom font with your module? If so, how is this possible? I haven't seen any information related to this topic in your documentation.

Thank you in advance

I know that there for creating pdfs, there are some additional steps involved. This module uses mPDF (https://mpdf.github.io/fonts-languages/fonts-in-mpdf-6-x.html). To achieve custom fonts with mPDF we need to upload the ttf font file. I see some places where people have put this file on the web, but technically it is not a free font. It is $385 for a server installation license via Microsoft. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/futura

Since there is no statement like define('_MPDF_TTFONTPATH', __DIR__ . '/fonts'); in the code, it appears that this module does not currently support custom fonts per se. I'd look into adding the define in module-pdfgenerator\Helper\pdf.php or to add the font in the mpdf library.

By the way, the free fonts included in vendor/mpdf/mpdf/ttfonts do not include Futura but are as follows:
