1 | f59acf11 | Dan Shope | 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 |
