Hi all!

How to include a new font/font family so that we can choose the suitable font from the drop-down menu?


I edited the xoops.php adding new fonts to the font array
which you will find enlisting Arial/Courier/....


The problem is when accessing the page which uses the new font, it is replaced by:
????????????????????

So somehow these fonts must be uploaded to what directory?

God bless y'all.

Re: How to include a new font?

It looks like an encoding problem.

Maybe the font is been displayed but it's not rendered correctly.

Have you tried tweaking the encoding in your browsers menu View>Encoding ?

If that helps, set the encoding in your language file xoops/your_language/global.php charset=...

hope it helps,

File to add/edit: /class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php


$fontarray = array("Arial", "Courier", "Georgia", "Helvetica", "Impact", "Verdana");


I add these Arabic Unicode font familys:

$fontarray = array("A_Nefel_Adeti", "A_Nefel_Adeti_Qelew", "Trad_Arabic", "Arial", "Courier", "Georgia", "Helvetica", "Impact", "Verdana");



****BTW what is DHTML?


I added the new font familys in the fontarray in xoops.php. But it did not work so I figured I have to UPLOAD the fonts to specific folder. Because these fonts are not provided by default in PCs.

Now you suggested I add the array into the formdhtmltextarea.php.

Hope that this works!

Re: How to include a new font?

I found, working with Japanese fonts, that I had to save the PHP file itself in the same encoding as the page being displayed.

I use UTF-8 because it seems to support all character sets (including arabic?)

I converted many of my files to UTF-8 encoding and all the '???????????' marks went away.

Hopefully it's easier in your case and you can just add the fonts to the array as suggested.

all the best,

David.
