If you’ve designed your own custom templates — or thinking of designing your own — you might be wondering which fonts are supported in PDF. Unfortunately, the underlying library that I’m using to help with the HTML to PDF conversion, only supports a limited set of fonts.
The fonts currently supported:
Arial, Times, Courier, Helvetica, Symbols, and Zapf Dingbats
It seems to map Arial to Helvetica, and include what’s referred to as the “base fourteen fonts”.
More info can be found here:

At a later time I’ll be taking a look at embedding additional fonts within the library for PDF conversion.
