<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>SetFont</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../fpdf.css"> </head> <body> <h1>SetFont</h1> <code>SetFont(<b>string</b> family [, <b>string</b> style [, <b>float</b> size]])</code> <h2>Description</h2> Sets the font used to print character strings. It is mandatory to call this method at least once before printing text or the resulting document would not be valid. <br> The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts use the Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe). <br> The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is kept from page to page. <br> If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize(). <br> <br> <strong>Note:</strong> the font definition files must be accessible. They are searched successively in: <ul> <li>The directory defined by the <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code> constant (if this constant is defined)</li> <li>The <code>font</code> directory located in the same directory as <code>fpdf.php</code> (if it exists)</li> <li>The directories accessible through <code>include()</code></li> </ul> Example using <code>FPDF_FONTPATH</code>: <div class="doc-source"> <pre><code>define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font'); require('fpdf.php');</code></pre> </div> If the file corresponding to the requested font is not found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is raised. <h2>Parameters</h2> <dl class="param"> <dt><code>family</code></dt> <dd> Family font. It can be either a name defined by AddFont() or one of the standard families (case insensitive): <ul> <li><code>Courier</code> (fixed-width)</li> <li><code>Helvetica</code> or <code>Arial</code> (synonymous; sans serif)</li> <li><code>Times</code> (serif)</li> <li><code>Symbol</code> (symbolic)</li> <li><code>ZapfDingbats</code> (symbolic)</li> </ul> It is also possible to pass an empty string. In that case, the current family is kept. </dd> <dt><code>style</code></dt> <dd> Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive): <ul> <li>empty string: regular</li> <li><code>B</code>: bold</li> <li><code>I</code>: italic</li> <li><code>U</code>: underline</li> </ul> or any combination. The default value is regular. Bold and italic styles do not apply to <code>Symbol</code> and <code>ZapfDingbats</code>. </dd> <dt><code>size</code></dt> <dd> Font size in points. <br> The default value is the current size. If no size has been specified since the beginning of the document, the value taken is 12. </dd> </dl> <h2>Example</h2> <div class="doc-source"> <pre><code>// Times regular 12 $pdf->SetFont('Times'); // Arial bold 14 $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',14); // Removes bold $pdf->SetFont(''); // Times bold, italic and underlined 14 $pdf->SetFont('Times','BIU');</code></pre> </div> <h2>See also</h2> <a href="addfont.htm">AddFont</a>, <a href="setfontsize.htm">SetFontSize</a>, <a href="cell.htm">Cell</a>, <a href="multicell.htm">MultiCell</a>, <a href="write.htm">Write</a> <hr style="margin-top:1.5em"> <div style="text-align:center"><a href="index.htm">Index</a></div> </body> </html>
