(PHP 4 >= 4.0.5, PECL pdflib >= 1.0.0)
PDF_findfont — Bereitet Schrift vor [veraltet]
Sucht eine Schrift und bereitet sie zur späteren Verwendung mit PDF_setfont() vor. Die Fontmetriken werden geladen und, falls embed ungleich null, wird die Fontdatei geprüft, aber noch nicht eingesetzt. encoding kann builtin, macroman, winansi, host, der Name eines benutzerdefinierten Zeichensatzes oder der Name einer CMap sein. Der Parameter embed ist vor PHP 4.3.5 und vor PDFlib Version 5 optional.
Diese Funktion ist seit PDFlib Version 5 veraltet, verwenden Sie stattdessen die Funktion PDF_load_font().

If you get the following error,
"PDFlib error: [2518] PDF_findfont: No file specified with outline data for font ..."
you might try the following:
1. Take care the environment variable PDFLIBRESOURCE is correctly set.
You can set it like this: putenv("PDFLIBRESOURCE=C:\phpdev\php\pdf-related\pdflib.upr");
2. Take care the resource variabele used by PDFLib is correctly set.
You can set it like this: pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "resourcefile", "C:\phpdev\php\pdf-related\pdflib.upr");
3. Take care the resource file and fonts can be found by adjusting your local include path.
You can set it like this: ini_set('include_path', 'C:/phpdev/php/pdf-related');
4. Take care the paths in the PDFLIB resource file are correct
Open pdflib.upr in a text editor and modify the path entry (read the comments):
Example: /C:/phpdev/php/pdf-related
5. Leave the optional parameter 'embed' out:
Like this:
if ($font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Helvetica", "host", 0))
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 12);
Or this:
if ($font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Helvetica", "host"))
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 12);
I hope this could be of help to you...
Display UTF-8 string with your PDFlib and true type font
<?php
/* UTF-8 : Unicode encoded string with PDFlib & Php
*/
$pdf = pdf_new();
if (!pdf_open_file($pdf, ""))
exit;
PDF_begin_page($pdf, 600,800);
// set the textformat parameter to utf8
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "textformat", "utf8");
// path of your TTF font directory
$fontdir = "/path/to/font/directory/";
// Open few .TTF (true type font)
// be sure that your font file contains enough character for your language
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "FontOutline", "ArialUnicode=$fontdir/ARIALUNI.TTF");
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "FontOutline", "ArialItalic=$fontdir/ariali.ttf");
// UTF-8 encoded string (this is bulgarian (cyrillic alphabet))
$utf_8_string ="Потребление" ;
// Set the font
$font = PDF_findfont($pdf, "ArialUnicode", "unicode",0);
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 15);
// output the encoded string with Arial Unicode font
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Arial Unicode : $utf_8_string" ,40 ,700);
// output the encoded string with Arial Italic font
$font = PDF_findfont($pdf, "ArialItalic", "unicode",0);
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 15);
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Arial Italic : $utf_8_string" ,40 ,650);
PDF_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
$buf = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
$len = strlen($buf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.pdf");
echo $buf;
pdf_delete($pdf);

An easy way to use .ttf fonts under *nix:
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "FontOutline", "Arial=/var/path/to/font/arial.ttf");
try this nice *nix shell code to generate the FontAFM section of your UPR files:
for i in *.afm
do
sep=`echo -e "\r"`
file=`cat $i | grep FontName | cut -b 10-`
file=${file//$sep/}
echo "$file=$i"
done
it gererates something like this:
Courier-Oblique=Courier-Oblique.afm
Courier=Courier.afm
Helvetica-Bold=Helvetica-Bold.afm
etc.
probably usefull if you add fonts now and then...
dont be shy to mail me if you find this usefull!
you can use korean font.
$font_kr = PDF_findfont($pdf, "HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro", "KSC-EUC-H", 0);
A note on fonts...
Everyone should take a look at the PDFlib manual, section 3.3.5 on TrueType fonts and such. In order to not have to embed fonts and have the font metrics file available use one of the 14 internal PDFlib fonts (case sensitive) :
Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, Courier-BoldOblique,
Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique,
Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic,
Symbol, ZapfDingbats
Note that "Times New Roman" isn't in there (Times-Roman is, however). All is explained in the PDFlib manual so if you're having trouble with the above example, please check it out.
Try this:
<?php
//Create & Open PDF-Object
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_set_info($pdf, "Author","Bob Nijman");
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 300, 300);
$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times New Roman", "host", 1);
if ($font) {
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 30);
}
$string = "Hello Berlin-Mitte!";
$width = pdf_stringwidth($pdf, $string);
pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, (300-$width)/2, 200);
pdf_show($pdf, $string);
//close it up
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-disposition: inline; filename=myTest.pdf');
header('Content-length: ' . strlen($data));
echo $data;
?>
For using pdf_findfont with pdf_setfont it's a good idea to copy your fonts to a separate directory, i.e. /usr/local/fonts. You should also copy the upr file which comes with PDFlib to this directory. The example code above did not work here until I put a
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "resourcefile", "/usr/local/fonts/pdflib.upr");
before the line with pdf_findfont().
