(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 , PHP 5)
PDF_set_font -- Selects a font face and size
Description
void
pdf_set_font ( int pdf document, string font name, double size, string encoding [, int embed])
The PDF_set_font() function sets the
current font face, font size and encoding. If you use pdflib 0.6
you will need to
provide the Adobe Font Metrics (afm-files) for the font in the
font path (default is ./fonts). If you use php3 or a version of
pdflib older than 2.20 the fourth parameter
encoding can take the following values:
0 = builtin, 1 = pdfdoc, 2 = macroman, 3 = macexpert, 4 = winansi.
An encoding greater than 4 and less than 0 will default to winansi.
winansi is often a good choice.
If you use php4 and a version of pdflib >= 2.20 the encoding parameter
has changed to a string. Use 'winansi', 'builtin', 'host', 'macroman' etc. instead.
If the last parameter is set to
1 the font is embedded into the pdf document otherwise it is not.
To embed a font is usually a good idea if the font is not widely spread
and you cannot ensure that the person watching your document has
access on fonts in the document.
I font is only embedded once even if you call
PDF_set_font() several times.
Nota:
This function has to be called after
PDF_begin_page() in order to create a valid
pdf document.
Nota:
If you reference a font in a .upr file make sure the name
in the afm file and the font name are the same. Otherwise,
the font will be embedded several times (Thanks to Paul Haddon
for finding this.)
