forumnz Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi Im trying to generate a PDF file using PHP. I'm taking an online tutorial. I get this error when I execute: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message 'Font 'Arial' with encoding 'host': Metrics data not found' in /usr/local/www/vhosts/site.co.nz/httpdocs/clientemail/pdf.php:9 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/www/vhosts/site.co.nz/httpdocs/clientemail/pdf.php(9): pdf_findfont() #1 {main} thrown in /usr/local/www/vhosts/site.co.nz/httpdocs/clientemail/pdf.php on line 9 This is the code from a website: <?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); // get and use a font object $arial = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host", 1); pdf_setfont($pdf, $arial, 10); // print text pdf_show_xy($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); ?> What could be wrong?
