Fonts and Languages

Font handling is a crucial aspect of PDF generation. When generating PDFs using headless browsers like Puppeteer, the required fonts must be installed in the environment. pdfg comes with a rich set of pre-installed fonts and allows you to easily add custom fonts that aren't included.

Using Custom Fonts

If you need to use fonts for unsupported languages or want to use different fonts, you can upload custom fonts through the dashboard. Here's an example using an Armenian font:

1. Upload the Font

Upload a font file (e.g., .ttf) from the dashboard.

2. Specify the Font in HTML

Use @font-face within the style tag to specify the font:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="hy">
  <head>
    <style>
      @font-face {
        font-family: "Noto Sans Armenian";
        src: url("NotoSansArmenian-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
      }
      body {
        font-family: "Noto Sans Armenian";
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Բարև աշխարհ</h1>
  </body>
</html>
