wkhtmltopdf civicrm font issue

[jpilantrose]

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue where my pdf export entirely ignores the fonts that I've used in the KCeditor. I want my print out to show Georgia but instead it appears as some generic sans-serif font. When I dig into the generated pdf, I find "NimbusSanL-Regu" called late in the file. How do I turn this override off and get my WYSIWYG fonts to show up correctly?

I'm running the newest version of Wordpress and CiviCRM. I installed wkhtmltopdf to fix a white screen error I was getting with CiviCRM when exporting more than a couple of pdfs at a time.

I thought this sounded like my problem but editing the print.css file doesn't seem to have an effect. http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,30106.msg128996.html#msg128996

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure but it might be that the fonts you want you use could not be found by wkhtmltopdf.

When I was adding a font I ended up editing 3 files: css/print.css, /packages/ckeditor/skins/moono/editor.css, and /packages/ckeditor/content.css. A couple of those are minified so a pain to edit.

But if it's not finding the font like @jaapjansma suggests, it might need installing to the OS - what are you running?

As it happens I'm having this same exact problem at the moment - we're just moving to a new server (previously Ubuntu, now CentOS), and wkhtmltopdf refuses to render Calibri, despite it being installed everywhere I can think of. Worked on the old one, though, so must be doable :-) Will update if I get anywhere...

(btw if it's any use I threw together a hacky extension that provides an option to export to HTML rather than PDF - helps with looking for CSS issues. Can send it over if it'd help)
