Check out our docs page on this.

Example Usage

In the example below you can see us register the font, create an associated style in the stylesheet, and then use it in the story. Multiple fonts can be registered.

<docinit>
    <registerTTFont faceName="Arial-Regular" fileName="{{ DIR }}/fonts/Arial/Arial-Regular.ttf"/>
</docinit>
...
<stylesheet>
    <paraStyle name="text" fontName="Arial-Regular" fontSize="10" leading="11.5" textColor="black"/>
</stylesheet>
<story>
    <para style="text">This text will generate using the font I defined</para>
</story>

To use related variations of a font family, register them all. This can then be combined later with registerFontFamily for the sake of using the associated tags such as italics and bold for text between the <i></i> and <b></b> tags respectively.

Note: Only relevant sections are used in this snippet. Some tags were not included. See some of our samples for further insight of how you may go about setting up a full document using rml.
