Changing the font in PDF schema
All the text we see in the PDF schema is drawn using a specific font. phpMyAdmin
uses the
DejaVuSans
font (
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net
), which covers a wide
range of characters.
For actual PDF generation, phpMyAdmin relies on the
tcpdf
library
(
http://tcpdf.sourceforge.net
). This library has two ways of using fonts—
embedded and not embedded. Embedding fonts will produce a bigger PDF file
because the whole font is included in the PDF file. This is the default option chosen
by phpMyAdmin because the library does not depend on the presence of a specific
TrueType
font in the client operating system.
The fonts are located in
libraries/tcpdf/fonts
under the main
phpMyAdmin
directory.
