The FPDF library is made up of the following elements:
2

    
3
- the main file, fpdf.php, which contains the class
4
- the font metric files (located in the font directory of this archive)
5

    
6
The metric files are necessary as soon as you want to output some text in a document.
7
They can be accessed from three different locations:
8

    
9
- the directory defined by the FPDF_FONTPATH constant (if this constant is defined)
10
- the font directory located in the directory containing fpdf.php (as it is the case in this archive)
11
- the directories accessible through include()
12

    
13
Here is an example defining FPDF_FONTPATH (note the mandatory final slash):
14

    
15
define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font/');
16
require('fpdf.php');
17

    
18
If the files are not accessible, the SetFont() method will produce the following error:
19

    
20
FPDF error: Could not include font metric file
21

    
22

    
23
Remarks:
24

    
25
- Only the files corresponding to the fonts actually used are necessary
26
- The tutorials provided in this package are ready to be executed
