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 |
