How can I customize font and page in laravel dompdf?

dompdf, laravel, laravel-5.3, pdf, php

Solution

try in laravel 5.5 above.

1.first download the font which u want to add(or set) as `.ttf` extenstion

2.store inside laravel storage folder like this `storage/fonts/yourfont.ttf`

3.Use CSS @font-face rules inside your blade..

4.for example create `sample.blade.php` file like this

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />
    <style type="text/css">
        @font-face {
            font-family: 'yourfont'; //you can set your custom name also here..
            src: url({{ storage_path('fonts/yourfont.ttf') }}) format('truetype');
            font-weight: 400; // use the matching font-weight here ( 100, 200, 300, 400, etc).
            font-style: normal; // use the matching font-style here
         }        
        body{
            font-family: "yourfont",  //set your font name u can set custom font name also which u set in @font-face css rule
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    Check your font is working or not...

Problem

I get from here : https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf My controller is like this : ``` public function listdata() { $pdf=PDF::loadView('print_tests.test_pdf'); $pdf->setPaper('L', 'landscape'); return $pdf->stream('test_pdf.pdf'); } ``` My view is like this : ``` <script type="text/php"> if ( isset($pdf) ) { $x = 72; $y = 18; $text = "{PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}"; $font = $fontMetrics->get_font("Arial", "bold"); $size = 6; $color = array(0,0,0); $word_space = 0.0; // default $char_space = 0.0; // default $angle = 0.0; // default $pdf->page_text($x, $y, $text, $font, $size, $color, $word_space, $char_space, $angle); } </script> ``` I use this : "barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "^0.7.0", When executed, the font is not Arial and the page is not display. How can I solve it?
