Hello!
The goal is to instal new tcpd font (times new roman with utf-8) for invoice..?
1. Where can i donwload the times new roman font for pdf...? Is this the right place https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/
i did that and uploud font files in /libraries/tcpdf/fonts/...
Virtuemart manual writes
"To update your fonts in TCDPF please upload proper font files to your /libraries/tcpdf/fonts/ if a non existent font is used within your wysiwyg templates, you may receive a fatal error."
But i dont see any changes in font drop down list shop - invoice emails (if i uploud those files https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ ..
2. If i upadate font here /libraries/tcpdf/fonts/ form https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ than do i have to make some php changes..?
3. How can i make this font times new roman use in utf-8 as i am from Latvia and we have āēčķļī charachters,
4. The problem is that default font Free Mono (UTF-8 Unicode) has clunky design and i want have invoice with times new roman with utf-8 charachters
Can someone, can give me an advice on this
I have VirtueMart 3.0.16
and joomla 3.6.
p.s. this was solution in older vm versions https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=99783.0 i assume some things has changed
You just need to copy the right files (two) into libraries/tcpdf/fonts
Then you can select the font in dropdown. When your fonts supports āēčķļī then it should work. Which files did you copy into?
The list in the vendor edit view checks for this
if(function_exists('glob')){
$specfiles = glob($dir.DS."*_specs.xml");
so your server must support the "glob" function and you need a file which ends with _specs.xml to be listed. You can ignore the old advices, also the FAQ, I will remove it, because as far as I know, all this fonts are parameters now. This was the time, when we had no option there.
I take tcpd file frome here https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ ...
Is this the right place files..? and transfer ALL font folder intoto libraries/tcpdf/fonts...
Can you teel where can i right donwload tcpdf font files for virtuemart...?
If i understand it corectly i must transfer right files via ftp to ibraries/tcpdf/fonts and thats it..
Can send me time new roman font files utf-8 for virtumart invoice...? p.s. than i uploud in ibraries/tcpdf/fonts if its 5 min job, not sure if i have right files
i did not find new fint files here http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/tcpdf/files
my curent job was to transfer: form https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/ to libraries/tcpdf/fonts files
times.php timesb.php timesbi.php timesi.php, than take file freemono_specs copy it and and replace with times new roman requisites times_specs.xml, by uplouding times_specs.xml i manage to get times new roman font in select are see the picture,
but i still have ? in āēķļ, i thinks its because of maybe wrong xml wchich i made or wrong files which i uploud as copy of freemono_specsThis is my xml brutal copy of freemono_specs reaname to times_specs.xml

If your HTML Document have some inline font set and they exist, It's possible that tcpdf auto load it.
Does your font change in the document when you change it in the dropdown ?
Hi S42,
I know andrai2 as I did some checking for this as he has my shipping plugin.
On a standard install using ā ē etc in things like the VM address, they render as ?? in the pdfs so it isn't inline stuff...

replaced against a new function in vm3.0.19.2
