DOMPDF not rendering unicode fonts character as it is #838

logindian · 2014-06-27T18:20:34Z

I used http://eclecticgeek.com/dompdf/load_font.php to generate Unicode TAMIL language font(latha by microsoft font) .I have copied the fonts into respective folders.

But I see the fonts are not printing as it is.

My code:

<p style="font-family: tamil-latha, verdana, sans-serif;" >தமிழ்</p>

But what is printed in PDF is :

Both the values are not Same. There is some box is coming near the font and a dot on last character is missing..
Font Link : http://font.downloadatoz.com/font,6907,latha.html

Note: I have also added newly created font into dompdf_font_family_cache.dist.php

'tamil-latha' => 
  array (
    'normal' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'latha',
    'bold' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'latha',
    'italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'latha',
    'bold_italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'latha',
  ),

Kindly suggest me how should i get the Unicode fonts as similar to original fonts.

First, if you're not using v0.6.1 you should go ahead and upgrade. Then use the built-in font loading tools. You can still use the web-based font prep tool, but what's included with dompdf is much better right now. Third, try disabling font subsetting to see if that helps.

I was able to use the font without any missing glyphs with the following HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
  <style>
  @font-face {
    font-family: latha;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    src: url(http://eclecticgeek.com/dompdf/fonts/latha.ttf) format('true-type');
  }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p style="font-family: latha, DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;">தமிழ்</p>
</body>
</html>

Tried as you suggested in 3rd option but no luck.
Now PDF contains ???? symbols

Here is my complete code used.

require_once($unsecured_param['home_dir']."/APIs/dompdf-0.6.1/dompdf_config.inc.php");

$cart_body='<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<style>
@font-face {
  font-family: latha;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: url(http://eclecticgeek.com/dompdf/fonts/latha.ttf) format(\'true-type\');
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
    <p style="font-family: latha">தமிழ்</p>
</body>
</html>';


        $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
        $dompdf->load_html($cart_body);//body -> html content which needs to be converted as pdf..
        $dompdf->render();
        $output = $dompdf->output();
        $user_bill_pdf = 'User_Bill_tamil.pdf';
        file_put_contents($user_bill_pdf, $output);//to save pdf into a location
        echo "<br>PDF generated..";

Sorry. I meant 0.6.1, .2 is in-the-works.

Do you have read/write access to your temp directory? Is DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE true? Those are the only two things I can think that may affect your output (though I don't know that the latter is necessary). Do you get any PHP errors/notices?

logindian · 2014-07-01T03:37:48Z

do you mean /tmp folder ? yes i have.
I have also set following in config file,
define("DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE", true);
define("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_PAPER_SIZE", "a4");
define("DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED", true);

Could you please simulate this in your directory and give the working sample code ?

bsweeney · 2014-07-01T18:30:09Z

I had no trouble using your HTML.
http://eclecticgeek.com/dompdf/debug.php?identifier=05106307de016883506829e239aac75c

I don't really see anything wrong with the code so the issue might be somewhere else. Are there any red flags on the setup page (browse to dompdf-0.6.1/www/setup.php)?

@bsweeney Hi, can you help me debug this? http://eclecticgeek.com/dompdf/debug.php?identifier=45261abdcca702deb6c11cd11dd6c2df

bsweeney · 2017-08-27T01:30:07Z

@moeseth you should start a new discussion on the support forum to work through any problems you're having. Unless you can definitively identify a problem with the solution for a closed issue that is.

That being said, the format specifier in your @font-face declaration should be "truetype" and not "ttf" (a mistake I often make myself).

@palistha01 you should start a new issue rather than comment on a closed one. Also, please indicate which version of Dompdf you are using.
