• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

try the described method of loading your font into the library
Fabrik domPDf is not the latest version.


ah, and which exact Fabrik version are you running?
There was an issue with loading css files.

I use Fabrik 3.5 - but will try to update from github. The load_font.php method is not easy on a webserver - I have no command line access ??
 
Updated from Github, but the include method still only shows the right font in debug mode not in the pdf ??? Any suggestions ?
 
I have been looking a little around in the pdf folder of fabrik and the dompdf library. I cannot find any reference to the file dompdf/inlucde/font_metrics.cls.php - which i suppose should load the newly added font - is this a bug. How are the fonts, added with load_font.php (I managed to use load_font on my raspberry), suposed to be included then ?
 
I'm not on my PC. But in domPDF there's a folder with all the fonts. Include your font there and set the CSS. There's an example in the WIKI, maybe you have to use ! important

Sorry - but it does NOT work. I have done this:
Used load_font.php and now I have theese two files in /libraries/dompdf/fonts/

bodoni-mpc.ttf
bodoni-mpc.ufm

In dompdf_font_family_cache.dist.php - this was added:

'bodoni' =>
array (
'normal' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'bodoni-mpc',
'bold' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'bodoni-mpc',
'italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'bodoni-mpc',
'bold_italic' => DOMPDF_FONT_DIR . 'bodoni-mpc',
),

In my pdf view in default.php I have this header line:

<p class="header" style="text-align:center;line-height:55px !Important;font-size:48px;font-family:bodoni !Important;"><?php echo $modelarray->element_ro; ?></p>

This does nothing, not in debug mode nor in the pdf rendering!

BUT....

If I add this to custom_css.php in my view and place the font in the specified folder:

@font-face {
font-family: 'bodoni';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(http://xxxxxx.dk/font/bodoni-mpc.ttf) format('truetype');
}

the correct font is shown in debug mode:
correct%20font%20in%20debug%20mode.png

but not in the rendered pdf:
wrong%20font%20in%20rendered%20pdf.png
 
debug mode is not going through domPDF but just showing what will be sent to.
So in case of fonts and float etc it doesn't help much.

Well then I am simply lost, have not got a clue how to make this work when the information provided in the wiki not is working?
 
After updateing to J! 3.8.1 and the latest branch of fabrik (5 days ago) the custom font is no longer included in the pdf ?? Has the dompdf directory changed ??
 
You could update the wiki, if you like.

We didn't have a choice about the change of folder location, as DOMPDF implemented Composer deployment and autoloading in version 0.8.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
