How to use custom fonts

[RobertCordes]

Hi, I can't get custom fonts working. They’re in the public directory (eg. /public/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf) which is an allowed directory as in the default configuration:

'allowed_directories' => [
    public_path(),
],
'base_dir' => '/',

In my CSS I've set the following:

@font-face {
    font-family: "Inter";
    src: url("/public/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf") format("ttf");
    /* I also tried src: url("/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf") format("ttf"); */
    font-weight: 400;
}

But I had no luck. I also tried using .woff. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

PS: I love your package! ❤️

Hi (otf, ttf, woff (not woff2)) should work.

Most likely there is an issue with the path mapping. Sadly the Laravel plugin does "swallow" those warnings at the moment. If you can xdebug into it, checkout \Typesetsh\LaravelWrapper\Typesetsh::render() and check the $this->uriResolver->errors after html2pdf->render is called.

Since its its properly relative to your project root, you can try to do:

@font-face {
    font-family: "Inter";
    src: url("./fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf") format("ttf");
    /* I also tried src: url("/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf") format("ttf"); */
    font-weight: 400;
}

'allowed_directories' => [
    public_path(),
],
'base_dir' => public_path(),

Doing above should tell the UriResolver to prepend the public path to all ./ resources.

---

• Improve error reporting using the UriResolver
• default base path should probably be empty string

Ok so setting 'base_dir' => public_path() actually helped. When using @font-face directly inside the HTML head, I could declare the path as ./fonts/.... Also, when using an external stylesheet, I have to set it as ../fonts/.... Which makes sense of course, but I just realised that now. That also means that I didn’t really have to mess with the configuration in the first place, sorry about that.

One note though: my .ttf font still doesn’t work, but my .woff does. It’s not really a problem for me though 😉
