Methods

__construct()

Import the specified font and create output files.

public __construct(
    string $file,
    string $output_path = '',
    string|FontType $type = '',
    string $encoding = '',
    int $flags = 32,
    int $platform_id = 3,
    int $encoding_id = 1,
    bool $linked = false,
    File|null $fileHelper = null
)

Parameters:

$file (string): Font file to process
$output_path (string): Output path for generated font files (must be writeable by the web server). Leave empty for the default font folder.
$type (string|FontType): Font type (or FontType enum case). Leave empty for autodetect mode. Valid values are: Core (AFM - Adobe Font Metrics) TrueTypeUnicode TrueType Type1 CID0JP (CID-0 Japanese) CID0KR (CID-0 Korean) CID0CS (CID-0 Chinese Simplified) CID0CT (CID-0 Chinese Traditional)
$encoding (string): Name of the encoding table to use. Leave empty for default mode. Omit this parameter for TrueType Unicode and symbolic fonts like Symbol or ZapfDingBats.
$flags (int): Unsigned 32-bit integer containing flags specifying various characteristics of the font as described in “PDF32000:2008 - 9.8.2 Font Descriptor Flags”: +1 for fixed width font +4 for symbol or +32 for non-symbol +64 for italic Note: Fixed and Italic mode are generally autodetected, so you have to set it to 32 = non-symbolic font (default) or 4 = symbolic font.
$platform_id (int): Platform ID for CMAP table to extract. For a Unicode font for Windows this value should be 3, for Macintosh should be 1.
$encoding_id (int): Encoding ID for CMAP table to extract. For a Unicode font for Windows this value should be 1, for Macintosh should be 0. When Platform ID is 3, legal values for Encoding ID are: 0 = Symbol, 1 = Unicode, 2 = ShiftJIS, 3 = PRC, 4 = Big5, 5 = Wansung, 6 = Johab, 7 = Reserved, 8 = Reserved, 9 = Reserved, 10 = UCS-4.
$linked (bool): If true, links the font file to system font instead of copying the font data (not transportable). This option is unsupported for Type1 fonts.
$fileHelper (File|null): Optional file helper for font loading.
