Problems with embedding a TTF font

[tschero]

Hi there,

I bind several fonts acc. the given description.
https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF#use-of-utf-8--ttf
This works e.g. with the ARIAL and ARIALBD font. Certain special characters are also displayed correctly.

However, I need a frame and a fisheye.
For this I want to use the Wingdings font.
Unfortunately, the integration of this font does not work.
The following error occurs:
jsPDF PubSub Error No unicode cmap for font Error: "No unicode cmap for font"

The font appears in the font map.
What is possibly wrong here.

How can I use a FishEye and other characters in the PDF as shown here?

Is a different font necessary?

This thread is known to me but does not help.

Either your Wingdings font is faulty or this is a bug of jsPDF. In order to check this, could you attach your converted font file?

TTF File
wingdings-cufonfonts.zip

Download Source for TTF File:

Converted Fontfile:

wingdings-cufonfonts.zip

Or is there possibly another font or possibility (except images) to create graphics, such as a frame and a fisheye?

You can of course use the path drawing commands: moveTo. lineTo, curveTo, rect, ellipse, etc. Or you can use SVG images and convert them with svg2pdf.

I haven't had the time yet to look into the font file, sorry.

It's ok, I would still rather wait a little longer for the result with the font.

Hello, is there anything new on this topic? I absolutely need this function.
Best Regards.

Ok, I just had a look at the font code and read a bit about OpenType fonts. Turns out, jsPDF does not support this kind of font. Your Wingdings font has a platformID of 3 (Windows) and an encodingID of 0 (Symbol). See also here. In order to map JavaScript characters to the glyphs in the font, jsPDF requires a "Unicode to glyph" mapping, i.e. an encodingID of 1.

So, sadly, you need to either use a different font, convert your font so it has a Unicode cmap, or draw the symbols manually.

If you want to and have the time for that you may, of course, also implement support for Symbol (0) cmap encodings. We are always happy about pull requests ;)
