Describe the Scenario

This method it's works for me.

I choose using PHP-based default PDF rendering system "dompdf" I found a utility at dompdf github page It can convert TTF font files into font libraries for use with dompdf. step 1. Download utils to /bookstack/vendor/dompdf/

step 2. modify two lines in /utils/load_font.php

---

require_once "/bookstack/vendor/autoload.php"; $fontDir = "path to your chinese ttf file";

---

step 3. run "php load_font.php 'font name what you want' path to your chinese ttf file"

step 4. It will generate an installed-fonts.json file in the /bookstack/storage/fonts directory, which will include the font name.

step 5. Go to “Custom HTML Head Content” customization setting and add chinese fonts name.

body, h1 { --font-body: ......, "noto sans tc"; }

step 6. refresh browser and export pdf.

I followed the steps to make the changes, but it didn't work. Is there any key point I might have missed?

php load_font.php DouyinSansBold DouyinSansBold.ttf

body, button, input, select, label, textarea { --font-body: 'DouyinSansBold', 'Noto Serif', serif; --font-heading: 'Roboto', sans-serif; --font-code: 'Source Code Pro', monospace; }

I think I missed some step after step 4....

Check the "fonts name" in "installed-fonts.json", it should be like this { "noto sans tc": { "normal": "/var/www/bookstack_file/bookstack/storage/fonts/NotoSansTC-Regular", "bold": "/var/www/bookstack_file/bookstack/storage/fonts/NotoSansTC-Regular", "italic": "/var/www/bookstack_file/bookstack/storage/fonts/NotoSansTC-Regular", "bold_italic": "/var/www/bookstack_file/bookstack/storage/fonts/NotoSansTC-Regular" } }

Add the fonts name what you see in json file to the customize CSS section.
