Setting a font using DOMPdf in laravel

29 views Asked by Daniel el khal At 27 March 2024 at 12:35

I am trying to generate a pdf in laravel and then set the font-family in the css of the page so that the generated pdf uses this font-family. I am using this package: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf alongside laravel.

My api does the following:

$pdf = Pdf::loadView('myview', \['view1' =\> $view1, 'view2' =\> $view2\]);
return $pdf-\>stream('myview.pdf');

myview is a blade file that i am streaming to create the pdf. Above my body and below my head i have the following: `

* {
    font-family: 'DejaVuSans';
}

`

My ttf file is in: vendor\dompdf\dompdf\lib\fonts\DejaVuSans.ttf. Which according to the documentation is correct.

I've tried different ways of writing it such as by adding sans-serif and adding a space but its all the same issue.

I also tried moving the font folder to my storage/fonts folder but i had the same issue. What i need is for the font to be set on load so that the greek and russian text appears correctly as it is currently appearing as ?????????
