DOMPDF set font for entire page?

Solution

DOMPDF works with CSS so you need to set the font family like so:

body {  
    font-family: 'Helvetica'  
}

BUT remember that you can only use the font that have been installed. To check which fonts you can use have a look in the fonts directory: /dompdf/lib/fonts/

To install more font follow this guide: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Installation#Font_Installation

Problem

Im using DOMPDF over at http://dompdf.github.com/ I am struggling how to set the font for the entire page. In the template I have made I have the font set to Helvetica in the CSS but when it generates the PDF it defaults to Times New Roman. When I try ``` <script type="text/php">{literal}if ( isset($pdf) ) { $font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold"); $pdf->page_text(72, 18, "TEST!", $font, 6, array(0,0,0));} {/literal}</script> ``` It prints the TEST! text in the font. However how do I get it to apply to the whole page? Thanks
