- <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>
