custom font not working on version 2 with mpdf 7

[1razzaghi]

hi i added the custom font in the config file=> pdf.php
but it is not working
it is also working on the other project with older version laravel-pdf with mpdf 6.x

i fix the problem myself
the problem is in addCustomFontsConfig function on Pdf.php file in \vendor\niklasravnsborg\laravel-pdf\src\LaravelPdf\Pdf.php directory.

first bug is in the if condition if (!Config::has('pdf.font_path') || !Config::has('pdf.font_data'))
there is no any config value for pdf.font_path and pdf.font_data ! so the condition return the $mpdf_config variable without any changes and add custom font

for solving this condition issue change the condition to
if (!Config::has('pdf.custom_font_path') || !Config::has('pdf.custom_font_data'))

the second bug is assigning value to $mpdf_config['fontDir'] and $mpdf_config['fontdata'] with the wrong config value that are'nt exist.
for solving this just change the value of two variable with the correct config value :

$mpdf_config['fontDir'] = array_merge($fontDirs, [Config::get('pdf.custom_font_path')]); $mpdf_config['fontdata'] = array_merge($fontData, Config::get('pdf.custom_font_data'));

Hi 1razzaghi,
I have a similar issue. I tried to fix this with your solution, howver nothing happened for me. Where can o find the
$mpdf_config['fontdata'] = array_merge($fontData, Config::get('pdf.custom_font_data')); ?

Thanks :)

hey guys did you try using font_path instead of customer_font_path ?

I've been able to add a custom font just by adding this to the config:

    'font_path' => public_path('fonts'),
    'font_data' => [
        'barcode_font' => [
            'R'  => 'c39hrp36dltt.ttf',    // regular font
        ]
    ]
