Hi all,
I’ve added the optional parameter MAIN_PDF_FORCE_FONT in my Dolibarr Setup to be able to set a different font for pdf creation due to turkish, chinese, japanese translations of quotations, etc.
I’ve decided to use the NotoSans TTF fonts.
I downloaded the ZIP file containing all the needed NotoSans-*.ttf files
then I downloaded the in dolibarr missing tcpdf_addfont.php file from the github repository and put it into the /usr/share/dolibarr/htdocs/includes/tecnickcom/tcpdf/tools folder
from there I’ve imported all the ttf files for tcpdf using the command:
./tcpdf_addfont.php -i import/NotoSans-Regular.ttf
>>> Converting fonts for TCPDF:
*** Output dir set to /usr/share/dolibarr/htdocs/includes/tecnickcom/tcpdf/fonts/
+++ OK : /root/import/NotoSans-Regular.ttf added as notosans
>>> Process successfully completed!
I’ve repeated the steps for all ttf files and have all fonts converted successfully for tcpdf
I have now all NotoSans fonts inside the fonts subfolder and can set the value for MAIN_PDF_FORCE_FONT to NotoSans
The value change is ok and a quotation can be generated without an error. But when I open the preview of the quotation all text is gone. When I select the text, I see that the text should be there, but its not visible.
Has anyone managed to add the notosans fonts for PDF generation?
Setting the font to DeJaVuSans works - but I don’t like the look of that font.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best regards
Bastian
