RE: [PHP] Fonts with PDFlib
Chris,
That did it! Thanks. That must have found its way in there from some of the
example code I was looking at when initially creating the page. I greatly
appreciate your help and keeping me from losing my mind :).
Thanks,
James Willard

James,
Have you set text rendering?
I thought that the default was for solid text but maybe..
pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1); will give you outline text, 0 for
fill
(default)
or:-
pdf_set_text_rendering -- Determines how text is rendered
Description
void pdf_set_text_rendering (int pdf document, int mode)
The pdf_set_text_rendering() function determines how text is rendered. The
possible values for mode are 0=fill text,
1=stroke text, 2=fill and stroke text, 3=invisible, 4=fill text and add it
to
clipping path, 5=stroke text and add it to clipping path,
6=fill and stroke text and add it to cliping path, 7=add it to clipping
path.

RE: [PHP] Fonts with PDFlib
Chris,
I already had:
PDF_set_parameter($pdf, "resourcefile", "/usr/local/fonts/pdflib.upr");
in the .php file. I went ahead and added the putenv() function in too, but
it didn't make a difference, the fonts are still hollow. I have copied the
fonts/ directory of PDFlib-4.0.1 to /usr/local and they are world-readable.
Do you have any other suggestions as to what could be wrong?
Thanks,
James Willard

[PHP] Fonts with PDFlib
Hello,
I have what should be a fairly simple question, but it's something I've been
struggling with for the past couple of days. Whenever I create a PDF
document in PHP, the font that is used is always an outline (not a solid
letter). I have searched the mailing list archives and online help but to no
avail. I have even used the example code to produce something like:
PDF_set_parameter($pdf, "resourcefile", "/usr/local/fonts/pdflib.upr");
$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times-Roman", "host", 0);
if ($font) {
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 10);
}
Could someone please provide a pointer to some useful information on PDF
fonts?
Thanks,
James Willard
