custom-font Verdana does not seem to work

[Remonell]

Thank you for submitting an issue to jsPDF. Please read carefully.

Are you using the latest version of jsPDF?
Yes
Have you tried using jspdf.debug.js?
Yes

Prologue:

I am trying to implement Verdana to be able to print Umlaute in the pdf with my chosen font.

I have checked out all the other issues regarding custom fonts and utf-8. I have also checked out the example codes in the hope I would be able to figure this out by my own.

From the example I know that UTF-8 support works, so I assume that I did something wrong somewhere.

To limit the error sources I tried to get it to work by changing only the necessary parts from the repository example code.

The Umlaute do work with PTSans.

Steps to reproduce

Download jsPDF repository master branch and the Verdana.ttf from here.

Use the fontconverter from the browser and choose the just downloaded Verdana.ttf.
Take the output javascript file (Verdana-normal.js) from the converter, copy it in the js folder from the repository and include it in the basic.html between the basic.js and the jspdf.debug.js include.

In the basic.js use following code:

    var doc = new jsPDF();
    doc.setFont('Verdana','normal');
    doc.setFontSize(10);
    doc.text("test123", 10, 10);
    doc.text("ää öö", 10, 30);
    doc.save('test.pdf');

(I also tried replacing the base64 code and the variable names etc. in the basic.js file without including the generated Verdana-normal.js. No success.)

Ideally a link too. Try fork this http://jsbin.com/rilace/edit?html,js,output

What I saw

A bunch of rectangles where the letters should have been. Not even "test123" was written correctly in the pdf file.

What I expected
test123 and ää öö printed in the pdf file.

I would appreciate any kind of help or suggestion. If you need more information, let me know.

Kind regards from Stuttgart

I tested it again with the updated code. Still the same issue.

[Uzlopak]

I tested it and it worked without any issues. Please provide your code, so that i can check it.

[Remonell]

I made some progress. I did convert my Verdana.ttf this time with an online base64 converter and it worked. The letter spacing after special characters like "äöüß" is weirdly too small though.

I replaced only the base64 code with the code that your fontconverter generates and it only shows rectangles instead of letters again.
Could there be an issue with your fontconverter?

To replicate my example you can do the steps from my initial post. If you want though, I can upload my basic.html and my basic.js.

[Uzlopak]

please provide your basic.html and basic. (in a zip or rar file)

[Remonell]

Here are the requested files. I also put the Verdana.ttf and the generated file from your fontconverter in the zip: https://ufile.io/459wk

As I mentioned already, this issue is already fixed and should be solved in the next release.

[Remonell]

Very weird. So I guess the issue is somewhere in my systems settings or something like that. Thanks for testing it!

We hopefully release 1.4.2 in few days. For now you can only build the project.

npm run-script install

Alright, I understand. Thank you very much. I really appreciate all your work and support!
