Unicode fonts #268

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
My understanding is that DOMPDF does not support embedding fonts in generated 
documents. If that's true, then what is the purpose of the load-font.php script 
and the fonts directory? I'm confused on that point. Also, if I have to use one 
of the fonts that's universally supported by all PDF viewers, do any of them 
support Cyrillic?

DOMPDF does support embedded fonts. I thought this was clear based on our 
discussion in Issue 249.

The built-in fonts currently only support iso-8859-1 (Windows ANSI, actually). 
This is one of the few standard character sets allowed in the PDF 1.3 spec. 
Because of this I'm not entirely sure what the full list of supported 
characters are for the built-in fonts. This is something we're looking into.

Then update your documentation so that it does not say "Font embedding is not 
currently supported" (dompdf_config.inc.php, lines 108-109).

I think we meant "font subsetting", we'll fix it, thanks.

Wow ... how did that comment get missed for so long? Thanks for pointing it 
out. Do you need any additional help with your font situation?

Yes, but I don't know if you can help me because all I can say is that I've 
tried installing various fonts that are supposed to be Unicode-friendly and 
none work for displaying Cyrillic characters. Could it be something other than 
the font? I've checked the text I'm printing and I know it displays correctly 
in HTML (UTF-8 encoding).

If you can supply a sample document we'll make sure it converts correctly. If 
that's ok, then maybe we can take a look at your PHP?

Though there are really only a few things you need to enable support for 
Cyrillic, it's the details that can cause problems.
