   1  The FPDF library is made up of the following elements:
   2  
   3  - the main file, fpdf.php, which contains the class
   4  - the font metric files (located in the font directory of this archive)
   5  
   6  The metric files are necessary as soon as you want to output text in a document.
   7  They can be accessed from three different locations:
   8  
   9  - the current directory (the one where the running script lies)
  10  - one of the directories defined by the include_path parameter
  11  - the directory defined by the FPDF_FONTPATH constant
  12  
  13  Here is an example for the last case (note the mandatory final slash):
  14  
  15  define('FPDF_FONTPATH','/home/www/font/');
  16  require ('fpdf.php');
  17  
  18  If the files are not accessible, the SetFont() method will produce the following error:
  19  
  20  FPDF error: Could not include font metric file
  21  
  22  If so, check if you have correctly defined the constant.
  23  
  24  Remarks:
  25  
  26  - You can also define FPDF_FONTPATH directly at the beginning of fpdf.php
  27  - Only the files corresponding to the fonts actually used are necessary
