Phoca PDF font installation file should include TCPDF fonts, so before you will create Phoca PDF font installation file, you need to create TCPDF font(s). Downlload TCPDF library from www.tcpdf.org and create TCPDF font(s). The guide you will find in TCPDF ZIP package file:

tcpdf/fonts/utils/README.TXT file.

After creating TCPDF font(s) you need to create installation XML file, so the font package can be installed in Phoca PDF component. The font installation ZIP file should include all TCPDF font files and installation XML file, e.g. Free Mono font package will include:

  • freemono.php (regular)
  • freemono.xml (installation XML file)
  • freemono.z
  • freemono.ctg.z
  • freemonob.php (bold)
  • freemonob.z
  • freemonob.ctg.z
  • freemonobi.php (bold italic)
  • freemonobi.z
  • freemonobi.ctg.z
  • freemonoi.php (italic)
  • freemonoi.z
  • freemonoi.ctg.z
  • index.html (empty html file)
  • freemono_authors.txt (information about authors of the font)
  • freemono_copying.txt (information about license of the font)
  • freemono_credits.txt (iformation about creadits of the font)

All these files will be zipped in one ZIP installation file - com_phocapdf_freemono.zip.

The installation XML file (freemono.xml) will look like the following code:

<install type="phocapdffonts" version="1.5" client="both" method="upgrade">
    <name>Free Mono</name>
	<tag>freemono</tag>
