Thanks for the suggestion. I realized last evening that since FPDF is open source I could try to debug inside it too. I'll try and get at that today. Re the difference between the font names, I tried this since spaces inside file names give some problems in Linux I was just trying to see if that might have been the problem. The font files are identical as proved by 'diff -s'. Also regenerated the font files from the .ttf source, same result. ====== On Thu, 2025-01-16 at 09:51 +0000, Jānis Elmeris wrote: > > You may try adding debugging: in fpdf.php on line 1136, at the beginning of the function: > > > error_log(print_r(['$path' => $path, 'content' => file_get_contents($path),], true)); > > > And see whether you get the expected output in the log. > Compare what you get when you run it with CLI and with the webserver. > > > Also, I see there is a difference between "Garamond Pro-Regular.php" and "garamond-pro.php" in > your examples.
