| <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. | |
| <br> | |
| <br> | |
| The font can be either a standard one or a font added by the AddFont() method. Standard fonts | |
| use the Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe). | |
| <br> | |
| <br> | |
| The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is kept from page to page. | |
| <br> | |
| <br> | |
| If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize(). | |
| <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 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> | |
