[kamill]

i m using php5 on windows.
my code is following:

<?php
// create handle for new PDF document
$pdf = pdf_new();
 
// open a file
pdf_open_file($pdf, "philosophy.pdf");
 
// start a new page (A4)
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);
//$arial="Arial";
// get and use a font object
$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "arial", "winansi", 1);
if ($font) {
    pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 10);
}
 
// print text
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,", 50, 750); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "than are dreamt of in your philosophy", 50, 730);
 
// end page
pdf_end_page($pdf);
 
// close and save file
pdf_close($pdf);
?>
 
 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message 'Metrics data for font 'arial' not found' in C:\PHP\xampp\htdocs\working\pdf.php:12 Stack trace: #0 C:\PHP\xampp\htdocs\working\pdf.php(12): pdf_findfont() #1 {main} thrown in C:\PHP\xampp\htdocs\working\pdf.php on line 12

Heya, kamill.

Are you using PDFlib Lite? You can only use the barebones built-in fonts with PDFlib Lite:
