 How To Add Custom font to jsPDF in Angular

To add a custom font in jsPDF in an Angular 12 application, you can follow these steps:

1)  Download and include the custom font files in your Angular project. Typically, custom font files are in TTF (TrueType Font) or OTF (OpenType Font) formats. You can download custom fonts from various websites or obtain them from a font provider.

2)  Create a folder in your Angular project to store the custom font files. For example, you can create a folder called "fonts" in the "assets" folder of your Angular project and place the custom font files in it.

3)  Update your Angular project's styles.scss file to include the custom font files. You can use @font-face CSS rule to define the custom font and specify the path to the font files. Here's an example:

scss

@font-face {
  font-family: 'CustomFont';
src: url('../assets/fonts/custom-font.ttf') format('truetype');
}

);

Make sure to update the path in the src property to match the actual location of your custom font files in your Angular project.

4)  Install jsPDF in your Angular project using npm or yarn. You can run the following command in your project's root folder:

sh
npm install jspdf

or

sh
yarn add jspdf

5)  Import the custom font in your Angular component where you want to use jsPDF. You can do this by adding the following code at the top of your component file:

typescript
import { jsPDF } from 'jspdf';
declare const CustomFont: any; // Declare the custom font as an external variable

// ...


export class MyComponent {
  // ...
}

6)  Use the "addFont()" method provided by jsPDF to register the custom font. You can use the addFileToVFS()" method to add the custom font file to the Virtual File System (VFS) of jsPDF, and then use the "addFont()" method to register the font with jsPDF. Here's an example

typescript
jsPDF.API.addFileToVFS('CustomFont.ttf', CustomFont); // Add the custom font file to VFS

jsPDF.API.addFont('CustomFont.ttf', 'CustomFont', 'normal'); // Register the custom font with jsPDF

7)  Set the custom font as the font for your content. You can use the setFont() method provided by jsPDF to set the custom font as the active font before adding text or other content to your PDF. Here's an example:

typescript
const doc = new jsPDF();
doc.setFont('CustomFont'); // Set the custom font as the active font
doc.text('Hello, World!', 10, 10); // Add text using the custom font

That's it! You should now be able to use the custom font in your Angular 12 application with jsPDF to generate PDFs with the custom font applied to the text.
