int PDF_findfont ( resource p, string fontname, string encoding, int embed )

Search for a font and prepare it for later use with PDF_setfont(). The metrics will be loaded, and if embed is nonzero, the font file will be checked, but not yet used. encoding is one of builtin, macroman, winansi, host, a user-defined encoding name or the name of a CMap. Parameter embed is optional before PHP 4.3.5 or with PDFlib less than 5.

This function is deprecated since PDFlib version 5, use PDF_load_font() instead.

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");
