i'm trying to change roboto font to calibri
i followed pdfmaker documentation and created vfs_fonts.js and replace roboto with calibri in pdfmake.min.js and
here is my datatable configuration:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable({
dom: 'Bfrtip',
buttons: [{
extend: 'pdf',
customize: function ( doc ) {
processDoc(doc);
}
}]
});
});
function processDoc(doc) {
//
// https://pdfmake.github.io/docs/fonts/custom-fonts-client-side/
//
// Update pdfmake's global font list, using the fonts available in
// the customized vfs_fonts.js file (do NOT remove the Roboto default):
pdfMake.fonts = {
Roboto: {
normal: 'Roboto-Regular.ttf',
bold: 'Roboto-Medium.ttf',
italics: 'Roboto-Italic.ttf',
bolditalics: 'Roboto-MediumItalic.ttf'
},
Calibri: {
normal: 'calibri.ttf',
bold: 'calibrib.ttf',
italics: 'calibrii.ttf"',
bolditalics: 'calibriz.ttf',
}
};
// modify the PDF to use a different default font:
doc.defaultStyle.font = "Calibri";
var i = 1;
}
</script>
if i change defaultstyle.font = "Roboto" the export is working...if i used calibri, clicking the pdf export button doen't do anything.
Note:
vfs_fonts.js is included after pdfmake so that's not the problem.
Please help.

This thread should help, it's asking the same thing.

Thanks. i already did what's in the thread but it's not working. my datatable is serverside...could this be the problem?
Also, i need to know do i have to put the fonts at a certain path?
You haven't specified
serverSidein your config, so your table will have all the data client-side.In all the examples I've seen, there's only a single object in
pdfMake.fonts. If you only wantCalibri, it would be worth removingRobotoas I'm not sure why that would be needed,Colin
i added serverside option and removed roboto but still no use. please help
Have you loaded your customised vfs_fonts.js file? To be honest, you might be best asking for help from the pdfmake team, as we just hook into their software for the pdf export.
