Bangla (Unicode) font not rendering correctly in tcpdf

**Shohag_ifas** · Sep 6th, 2015, 09:28 AM

I am facing a problem with generating pdf in php by using TCPDF library. I need to show the bangla font correctly. I tried to add some bangla font(i.e. SolaimanLipi.ttf, SutonnyOMJ.ttf, Siyamrupali.ttf, Nikosh.ttf and so on). I can see the bangla font on pdf but the font is not display correctly. Its misplaced the word.

By adding this font I see the on the /fonts/ directory there successfully created 3 file “solaimanlipi.ctg.z”,”solaimanlipi.php” and “solaimanlipi.z”. As well as I can see the bangla font on pdf, but this font is misplaced/scattered. I am attaching a picture what I actually see.

This is how it should look (From browser screenshot):

Here is the code to show above result:

Code:

    <?php
	$strData = file_get_contents('./data3.txt');
    ?>
    <html lang="en" dir="ltr">
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8" />
		<style>
        @font-face
        {
            font-family: myUniFont;
            src: url(./SolaimanLipi_22-02-2012.ttf);
        }
        </style>
	</head>
	<body>
		<span style="font-family: myUniFont;"><?php echo $strData; ?></span>
	</body>
    </html>

I use below code to use that very same font in my pdf:

Code:

    $strBNFont = TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont('./SolaimanLipi_22-02-2012.ttf', 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 32);
    $pdf->SetFont($strBNFont, '', 8, '', 'false');

And It is how it look like in PDF:

best regards
