Adding Custom Fonts with FPDF2

[@Mesyv]

uni = True - this is for other (non English) letters as żźół (e.g. for Polish), otherwise this is not possible for fpdf to print those letters to PDF

Can you make a video on how to use all these techniques in streamlit apps? Specifically, how to print a streamlit page to a pdf?

I tried using .OTF instead of .TTF and it did not work. Have you encountered this issue? If so, what was your solution? Thanks

I tried using ttc and I also had problems so I just downloaded a google font which was similar to the one I wanted.

Hi this feature is NOT working now. It shows an error ="TTF. add_font() used to accept .pkl file as input, but for security reasons this feature is deprecated since v2.5.1 and has been removed in v2.5.3." So how can v resolve it?
