[solved] noto characters in PDF that are not related to actual content (probably just style related), how do I change it? #31

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

here is an example arial.ttf
arial.ttf.zip

arial.ttf.pdf arial.ttf.pdf.zip

running on Cygwin,
which relay on C:\Windows\Fonts\ for actual having other fonts I've edited C:\cygwin\etc\fonts\fonts.conf

<!-- Font directory list -->

+<dir>/cygdrive/C/Windows/Fonts</dir>
+<dir>C:/Windows/Fonts</dir>
+<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>

fonts.zip

and then the result was looking fine,

my suggestion/question is,
how to control, what I assume is a hard-codded styling for the PDF,

or an ability to control the non-critical presentation layer of the PDF,
either of those would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, the fonts for the tables are not hardcoded, but they do need to be installed (you cannot just specify a font file for them). You can change those fonts using --style option. Here are the defaults for various styles (as shown when --help is supplied):

    header-font (Sans Bold 12)
    font-name-font (Serif Bold 12)
    table-numbers-font (Sans 10)
    cell-numbers-font (Mono 8)

You can change the header font like this:

    fntsample --style "header-font: Arial 14" ....
