如何将新的 fonts 添加到 pyfpdf

Question

i've tried to copy a dejavucondensed.ttf into pyfpdf/font/ But no luck when i tried

>>> from pyfpdf import *
>>> p = FPDF()
>>> p.add_font('dejavucondensed')
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfd' in file pyfpdf/font/dejavucondensed.font 
on line 2, 
but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Answer 1

This is probably a Unicode/encoding problem (see the PEP linked in the message ). I do not have pypdf installed here, but according to the reference documentation for add_font you need to use the uni parameter:

pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', 'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf', uni=True)

Answer 2

For anyone who's looking at this all this time later, try this. I'm in Ubuntu Linux using Python 3.8. Go to your installation of fpdf , which for me was in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/fpdf .

If there is not a folder named fonts there, do a mkdir fonts . Grab the ttf file for your font from any number of sources and place it in the fonts folder. I wanted Calibri Regular and named my file calibri_regular.ttf .

Then in your interpreter or script:

from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF()

pdf.add_font('Calibri Regular', '', 'calibri_regular.ttf', uni=True)
pdf.set_font('Calibri Regular', '', 12)

At this point you're ready to write to the PDF in that font.
