How to make DOMPDF support unicode font step by st

Question

I used DOMPDF library and now I have problem with content with unicode language. and I found this one dompdf help but I don't understand about this. can anyone tell the detail of this? thanks

Answer 1

As of version 0.7, dompdf supports and has unicode enabled by default. (therefore there is no need for configuration).

Not all dompdf fonts support unicode though. I used font-family: DejaVu Sans with success.

To install a custom font or learn more about it you can read the official unicode how to.

Answer 2

There is a wiki page for this.

The next beta (0.6 beta 3), to be released soon, has a font installer that doesn't require the command line (neither any compilation). You already can use it by checking out the SVN trunk. This beta also supports @font-face.

Answer 4

1. Enable the mbstring extension
2. Find a font in .ttf format with characters that support your given language
3. Generate a .afm file for DOMPDF:
   1. Using the command line, cd into the directory which contains load_font.php, then run php load_font.php FontName /path/to/font.ttf
   2. Using the online tool, fill out the form and download the zip it gives you. Copy the files from this zip into dompdf/lib/fonts. If you've done this before, add relevant lines to dompdf_font_family_cache, otherwise simply rename dompdf_font_family_cache.sample to dompdf_font_family_cache

4. Enable DOMPDF's Unicode mode, by making sure the line

   def("DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED", true);
   

   is set in dompdf_config.inc.php. If it reads false instead of true, change that.
