INR Currency Symbol Add in fpdf - php

Question

I want to add INR Currency Symbol in pdf file using fpdf. how to add INR Currency Symbol (Rupee) pdf file using fpdf.

Answer 1

See fpdf font dump documentation
http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script4.php .
Here, No option to add rupee symbol (₹) so, u can use rupee symbol png image and integrate with fpdf.
$pdf->Image('rupee.png',8,10,-200);

Answer 2

Here is a way to print the rupee sign with FPDF:
Copy the cp1252.map file (located in the makefont directory) to cp1252+INR.map.
Open cp1252+INR.map in a text editor. Replace this line:
!A4 U+00A4 currency
with:
!A4 U+20B9 uni20B9
This will map the rupee sign at position 0xA4 (instead of the generic currency sign).
Choose a font that contains the rupee sign and use MakeFont() with the cp1252+INR encoding to convert it. Here I will use the Arial font that comes with Windows:
<?php
require('makefont/makefont.php');
MakeFont('C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\Arial.ttf', 'cp1252+INR');
?>
Copy the generated files (arial.php and arial.z) to the font directory.
Add the font in your script and use chr(0xA4):
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddFont('Arial', '', 'arial.php');
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 20);
$pdf->Write(5, 'Rupee sign: '.chr(0xA4));
$pdf->Output();
?>

I understand that this is pretty late but a simple solution to this issue would be to use tFPDF which is essentially an extension to FPDF. Using tFPDF, you can use the 'DejaVu Sans' font which supports the '₹' symbol along with most other currency symbols. This font comes in packed with the tFPDF as well, so you can literally plug it in and use it in your current system directly.
More information can be found here:
http://www.fpdf.org/?go=script&id=92
<?php
// Optionally define the filesystem path to your system fonts
// otherwise tFPDF will use [path to tFPDF]/font/unifont/ directory
// define("_SYSTEM_TTFONTS", "C:/Windows/Fonts/");
require('tfpdf.php');
$pdf = new tFPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
// Add a Unicode font (uses UTF-8)
$pdf->AddFont('DejaVu','','DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf',true);
$pdf->SetFont('DejaVu','',14);
// Load a UTF-8 string from a file and print it
$txt = file_get_contents('HelloWorld.txt');
$pdf->Write(8,$txt);
// Select a standard font (uses windows-1252)
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',14);
$pdf->Ln(10);
$pdf->Write(5,'The file size of this PDF is only 13 KB.');
$pdf->Output();
?>
Cheers!!
