How can I use arial serif? #306

I understand that the package by default uses arial sans serif, even if I load an external TTF how can I start to use arial serif?

jung-kurt commented 5 years ago

Use SetFont(). For example,

pdf.SetFont("Arial", "B", 16)

for 16 pt Arial bold (this is sans serif), or

pdf.SetFont("Times", "", 14)

for 14 pt Times New Roman (standard serif font).

@jung-kurt hello, thanks for answer. My mistake, I mean, how to use arial serif, not arial san serif? As am needing to use serif, but I see that its only available for Times

I am not aware of any arial serif font and it definitely is not part of the default base fonts included with PDF readers. If you can find such a font, you will need to add it with AddUTF8Font().
