I am trying to use custom fonts in my PDF generated with wkhtmltopdf.
I read that you can't use google webfonts and that wkhtmltopdf uses truetype .ttf file. Can anyone confirm that?
So I downloaded a .ttf file from google webfont and put in on my server, then used the font face:
@font-face {
font-family: Jolly;
src: url('../fonts/JollyLodger-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}
and font family:
<style type = "text/css">
p { font-family: 'Jolly', cursive; }
</style>
And now the text that is supposed to render with Jolly Lodger font doesn't appear at all, page is blank.
What am I doing wrong?
PS: I tried with different .ttf files.

Since it is a Google Web font you need not to write
@font-face
in you style sheet just use following link tag in your source code:and
will work.
By the way, in your code you are defining
@font-face
family asfont-family: Jolly;
and using it asp { font-family: 'Jolly Lodger', cursive; }
that is wrong, because it's mismatching font-family name.
