otf format

[huelsmc]

Hey,

in the documentation of TCPDF you can see that it also supports otf fonts. Is it somehow possible to add this type to a document? Tried via type= OpenType but this didn't work (as it is in your documentation).

Greetings

Yes, TCPDF should support OTF fonts, but I just came across this line of code in TCPDF:

} elseif (substr($font, 0, 4) == 'OTTO') {
    // Open Type (Unicode or not)
    //Unsupported font format: OpenType with CFF data
    return false;
} else {

So maybe you have an OpenType font with CFF data? That would not be supported by TCPDF.

A couple of things you could try:

• Do not provide the type option and let TCPDF guess the font format. Like this you could check whether the condition above is met or not.
• Try to use the Roboto or OpenSans font, these should work for sure. If they do not work, it might be possible, that your EXT:pdfviewhelpers/Resources/Private/PHP/tcpdf/fonts folder is not writable.
• Try to convert your font to TTF, there are a couple of free online converters available.

Thanks for your feedback. I will test this. It's totally possible that the font has CFF data (sorry i have not that much experience with fonts). This probably can be closed.

I just reopen the issue in order to add a note about this to the documentation. If you find a way to solve your issue, it would be nice if you would share your solution. If you like the project, please consider giving it a star :)
