Missing Symbols or Characters in PDF

wmandai

The default font used for Invoice PDF is dejavusans. The font is referenced in /public/css/invoice-pdf.css file.

@font-face {
	font-family: 'dejavusans';
	src: url('../../vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf') format('truetype')
}

You can add custom font by copying your font to folder /public/fonts then add the font css to invoice-pdf.css as shown below;

@font-face {
	font-family: 'custom';
	src: url('./../fonts/custom.ttf') format('truetype');
}

Edit .env file and add or change value of PDF_FONT=FONT_NAME replace FONT_NAME with font real name e.g PDF_FONT=custom

You can use the same method to add custom fonts to other modules i.e credit notes, estimates etc

Hello William,
I noticed that the default font "dejavusans" is not loaded in the PDF Table Header and also in the balance_due and currency cell.
even when I add a new style to the custom.blade.php for the according table cells and force them with the !important tag.
What did work is when I set the font-family to "sans-serif" - so I assume the default font is not found or loaded at all in my Workice installation.
