Using Fonts

Hi all,

I tried to use the 'Lucida Grande' font, but the converted pdf always uses the Arimo font.

Specifiying a font by
@font-face {
font-family: "Lucida Grande";
src: url(http://path/to/LucidaSansUnicode.ttf) format("truetype");
}
also doesn't seem to work.

Is there a list which fonts are supported by default, and can additional fonts be used by using @font-face? If so, how?

Thanx in advance. :)


Regards,
Lasheimok

Lasheimok,

Lucida Grande is not installed in our system since it is a commercial font. If you find a free alternative font just let us know and we will add it.

The @font-face selector is supposed to work but there are some glitches. Could you post (or send to info@pdfcrowd.com) a minimal working example that reproduces your problem? Thanks.

Here is a list of available fonts:

Thank you so much for your response, that solved the problem. :)

Using @font-face works, I just messed up the font names. That code (from pm response) works:

@font-face {
font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode";
src: url("/path/to/LucidaSansUnicode.ttf") format("truetype");
}
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana;
}

Also thank you for posting the list of supported fonts, that makes it easier to tell which designs will work.

I would know if you can add the free font Cardo by David J. Perry; one of the few fonts with a complete support for ancient Greek, widely used from classicists, and available also at Google Fonts (support for the WOFF format will also be a useful improvement).
My best wishes,

Raul

We have added Cardo.

Regarding the WOFF format, it is in our dev queue and will be hopefully available soon.

The WOFF format is supported now.
