FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Why a separate package
dskripchenko/php-pdf is MIT-licensed. The Liberation fonts ship under
the SIL Open Font License (OFL) 1.1, which is permissive and
GPL-compatible but distinct from MIT (different naming rules for
derivatives, different redistribution clauses). Keeping fonts in a
separate package:
- isolates the OFL license zone from the MIT zone;
- lets callers opt out of the ~4 MB font bundle when they ship their own fonts;
- enables future sibling packages (
php-pdf-fonts-noto,php-pdf-fonts-roboto, etc.) without changing the core.
What's bundled
Liberation Fonts 2.1.5 (latest stable), 12 files in assets/fonts/:
| Family | Variants |
|---|---|
| LiberationSans | Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic |
| LiberationSerif | Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic |
| LiberationMono | Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic |
The Liberation family is metric-compatible with Microsoft's proprietary fonts — text laid out for Arial / Times New Roman / Courier New will render with the same line wrapping using the Liberation equivalent, so DOCX-input → PDF and HTML-templates → PDF workflows produce identical pagination.
Glyph coverage: full Latin (Western and Eastern European), Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Devanagari basics.
Installation
PHP 8.2+. No native extensions required.
Usage
Microsoft name aliasing
LiberationFontProvider resolves common proprietary names to their
metric-compatible Liberation equivalent automatically:
| Requested name | Resolved to |
|---|---|
Arial |
LiberationSans |
Arial-Bold |
LiberationSans-Bold |
Times New Roman |
LiberationSerif |
Times New Roman-Italic |
LiberationSerif-Italic |
Courier New |
LiberationMono |
A template that says font-family: "Times New Roman" works out of
the box.
Combining with system or custom fonts
Use Dskripchenko\PhpPdf\Font\ChainedFontProvider to stack providers
so Liberation acts as a fallback for missing glyphs:
License
This package mixes two licenses:
| Zone | License |
|---|---|
src/ (PHP wrapper) |
MIT — see LICENSE |
assets/fonts/ TTFs |
SIL OFL 1.1 — see OFL.txt |
Both are permissive, GPL-compatible, and allow commercial use.
