   2 =================
   3 Open Source Fonts
   4 =================
   5 mPDF should be able to read most TrueType Unicode font files with a .ttf extension
   6 Truetype fonts with .ttf or .otf extension and .ttc TrueType collections should also work OK.
   7
   8 You will probably therefore have access to any number of fonts, but here are some useful sources for
   9 open-source or free-use fonts. Many of these were included with earlier versions of mPDF:

  78 ============
  79 ARABIC FONTS
  80 ============
  81 You can use any appropriate Unicode-encoded .ttf or .ttc font file for arabic text, but
  82 the font file must include the Arabic Presentation Forms-B (U+FE70\96U+FEFF).
  83 2 of the XW Zar fonts are included in the release.
  84
  85
  86
  87 ===========
  88 INDIC FONTS
  89 ===========
  90 Indic scripts e.g. Hindi, Bengali etc. use conjuct forms which have no Unicode assignment. You
  91 cannot therefore use any standard .ttf font files with mPDF.
  92
  93 A set of fonts has been adapted to use specifically with mPDF. They are based on a set of fonts from:
  94
  95 http://www.cdacmumbai.in/projects/indix/e_introduction.shtml
  96
  97 NB These fonts are released under GNU GPL Version 2 license
  98
  99 You need these adapted fonts (ind_bn_1_001.ttf etc.) to work with mPDF, as the glyphs have been
 100 assigned to Unicode values in the Private Use area (U+E000 ->). These are included in the
 101 mPDF download.
 102
 103
 104
 105 Users of mPDF v4.x
 106 ------------------
 107 The original indic font files do not contain a full set of even basic ASCII
 108 characters. The fonts supplied have been "fixed" to include those extra
 109 characters. This now works whether the font is subset or not.

 118 Supplemental Ideographic Plane
 119 ==============================
 120 SIP = Supplemental Ideographic Plane ( = Plane 2) = U+20000 - U+2FFFF  (131072 - 196607)
 121 These characters are required for the HKSCS Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set. Fonts with
 122 SIP characters are commonly divided into a second file e.g. MingLiU and MingLiU-ExtB
 123
 124 mPDF requires 2 fonts and they should be cross-referenced in config_fonts.php e.g.
 125         "sun-exta" => array(
 126                 'R' => "Sun-ExtA.ttf",
 127                 'sip-ext' => 'sun-extb',
 128                 ),
 129         "sun-extb" => array(
 130                 'R' => "Sun-ExtB.ttf",
 131                 ),
 132
 133 --OR--
 134 (NB these ones also define the font number within the TTC Collection as TTCfontID)
 135         'mingliu' => array (
 136                 'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
 137                 'TTCfontID' => array (
 138                         'R' => 1,
 139                 ),
 140                 'sip-ext' => 'mingliu-extb',
 141         ),
 142         'mingliu-extb' => array (
 143                 'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
 144                 'TTCfontID' => array (
 145                         'R' => 1,
 146                 ),
 147         ),
 148         'mingliu_hkscs' => array (
 149                 'R' => 'mingliu.ttc',
 150                 'TTCfontID' => array (
 151                         'R' => 3,
 152                 ),
 153                 'sip-ext' => 'mingliu_hkscs-extb',
 154         ),
 155         'mingliu_hkscs-extb' => array (
 156                 'R' => 'mingliub.ttc',
 157                 'TTCfontID' => array (
