Hi,

After googling several hours, I still cannot have custom fonts displayed in PDF generated by Odoo. Help much appreciated, please! Here is the complete story.

I created a custom report inheriting account.report_invoice_document. This is needed as invoices are customized to display extra information (like a Harmonized System Codes summary, for example). I was also asked to use a custom font to customize the layout of our invoices.

In this template, I added an inline style sheet and applied a font-face to the whole document:

 <style>

    @font-face {
        font-family: 'My Font';
        font-weight: normal;
        font-style: normal;
        src: url(data:font/opentype;charset=utf-8;base64,d09GRg<!--[ LONG BASE64 STRING ]-->DN6ag4) format('woff'),
             url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,AAEAAA<!--[ LONG BASE64 STRING ]-->moOA==) format('truetype');
    }


    html, body
    {
        font-size: 8;
        font-family: 'My Font';
    }

</style>

Tuning the Invoices report to produce HTML, I'm able to get the expected results on screen in my browser. Pressing the Print button export the same report as a PDF file through wkhtmltopdf I get my invoice with the correct data, but not the right font.

Things I tested, without success:

• use only WOFF

• use only TTF

• use both WOFF and TTF

• direct PDF generation without primarily HTML display on screen

• add a .mytest class in style an apply it to specific html tags 
  

Still the same: OK on screen, not as expected as PDF file.

For experimentation, also tried to include Material Icon as follow:

<style>
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Material Icons';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: url('data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,AAEA<!--[ LONG BASE64 STRING ]-->ABc=') format('truetype');
}
 
.material-icons {
  font-family: 'Material Icons';
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  font-size: 24px;
  line-height: 1;
  letter-spacing: normal;
  text-transform: none;
  display: inline-block;
  white-space: nowrap;
  word-wrap: normal;
  direction: ltr;
  -webkit-font-feature-settings: 'liga';
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}
</style>

and later adding this somewhere in the template.

<span>TEST <i class="material-icons">&#xE87C;</i></span>

Same as above: works well on screen and displays "TEST" + a smiling face icon, works partially on PDF and only displays TEST without the face icon.

I'm stuck there. Could someone help?

Thanks.
