formatting bugs with bold, underline in Phoca PDF?

Post by enantiodromia »

Hello,
I just downloaded Phoca PDF for my new Joomla! install and things are more or less working fine. However - the PDF generation doesn't seem to work correctly with articles containing bold or underlined words. To see what I mean, you can go to http://www.enantiodromia.org and click on the PDF-generate icon for the top article ("Welcome to Enantiodromia!"). the paragraphs containing bold or underlined text are completely misformatted.

I couldn't find any similar problems in a search, so I'm hoping there's a fix for this? I really need good PDF generation for the academic material which will be on my site, and Joomla! and Phoca PDF are the best and closest combination so far to what I need :| Please help!

PS one other question: how does one change the default font? It isn't clear to me in the documentation I've read.

Hi, you need to check if your font does include different variants like : italic, bold, italicbold, etc. Mostly the basic fonts includes only regular fonts - to be not so large (save the memory, time, cpu)

You can change the font in plugin parameters, see:

Jan - thank you very much for your reply - things make sense now. :| I checked the Phoca PDF Fonts download area and there don't seem to be any that include bold or underline. Are there any fonts available with these features?

Hi, e.g. freesans have b, bi, i, and regular font types.
