Can't use custom fonts properly

[adrien-guyot]

I am using the 1.4.1 version of jsPDF in my Angular 5 project.
I'm trying to add some custom fonts to my pdf but it's not working.
It throws the following error :

Font does not exist in FileInVFS, import fonts or remove declaration doc.addFont('nameOfTheFont').

So i tried to add files to VFS like this :

doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addFileToVFS(nameOfTheFont, FontBase64Encoded);

And it's not throwing errors anymore, the PDF is well generated but the font is not working at all in the pdf.

Did I missed something ?

I tried to add "WinAnsiEncoding" at the end and it gets better (just a little because instead of unreadable characters, i have default font characters now).

doc.addFont(nameOfTheFont, nameOfTheFont,"normal","WinAnsiEncoding");

Even if it is still throwing the same error message, I do see the name of the font when i do a console.log(doc.getFontList()); but it's not displaying the proper font when i set it.

For some reason, PTSans is working perfectly but it shows the weird characters like the image you mentioned above when I try to use any other custom font downloaded from google.

pdf.addFileToVFS("PTSans.ttf", PTSans);
pdf.addFont('PTSans.ttf', 'PTSans', 'normal');
pdf.setFont('PTSans'); //
pdf.addFileToVFS("PTSansBold.ttf", PTSansBold);
pdf.addFont('PTSansBold.ttf', 'PTSans', 'bold');
pdf.setFont('PTSans'); //
pdf.setFontSize(14);

^^ This works perfectly

I've tried a lot of things but nothing works, i think i'm gonna generate my pdf with another module.

This maybe related to
#1902
TTF Fonts only load properly when indexToLocFormat is ZERO (LONG OFFSETS)

I think it is duplicate of #1902
