@react-pdf/font

Font registration, loading, and resolution library for react-pdf. Handles TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 fonts from various sources including local files, remote URLs, and base64 data URIs. Includes built-in support for PDF standard fonts.

Installation

yarn add @react-pdf/font

Usage

import FontStore from '@react-pdf/font';

const fontStore = new FontStore();

// Register a custom font
fontStore.register({
  family: 'Roboto',
  src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf',
});

// Load the font
await fontStore.load({
  fontFamily: 'Roboto',
  fontStyle: 'normal',
  fontWeight: 400,
});

Font Sources

The library supports multiple font source types:

Remote URL

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Open Sans',
  src: 'https://example.com/fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf',
});

With custom request options:

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Open Sans',
  src: 'https://example.com/fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer token',
  },
  body: null,
});

Local File (Node.js)

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Custom Font',
  src: '/path/to/font.ttf',
});

Note: Local file resolution is only available in Node.js environments.

Base64 Data URI

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Embedded Font',
  src: 'data:font/ttf;base64,AAEAAAALAIAAAwAwT1MvMg...',
});

Registering Font Families

Single Font

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Roboto',
  src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf',
  fontWeight: 400,
  fontStyle: 'normal',
});

Multiple Weights and Styles (Bulk Registration)

fontStore.register({
  family: 'Roboto',
  fonts: [
    { src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf', fontWeight: 400 },
    { src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf', fontWeight: 700 },
    {
      src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf',
      fontWeight: 400,
      fontStyle: 'italic',
    },
    {
      src: 'https://example.com/fonts/Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf',
      fontWeight: 700,
      fontStyle: 'italic',
    },
  ],
});

Standard Fonts

The following PDF standard fonts are pre-registered and available without any additional setup:

  • Helvetica (with Bold, Oblique, and BoldOblique variants)
  • Courier (with Bold, Oblique, and BoldOblique variants)
  • Times-Roman (with Bold, Italic, and BoldItalic variants)

Helvetica variants are pre-loaded by default, so no explicit load() call is needed for them.

// Standard fonts are ready to use immediately
const font = fontStore.getFont({
  fontFamily: 'Helvetica',
  fontWeight: 700,
  fontStyle: 'normal',
});

Font Weight Resolution

The library implements CSS font-weight resolution rules. You can specify font weights as numbers or keywords:

Keyword Numeric Value
thin, hairline 100
ultralight, extralight 200
light 300
normal 400
medium 500
semibold, demibold 600
bold 700
ultrabold, extrabold 800
heavy, black 900

When an exact weight match isn't available, the library uses CSS fallback rules to find the closest available weight.

Emoji Support

Register an emoji source to enable emoji rendering:

// Using a URL pattern (must end with trailing slash)
fontStore.registerEmojiSource({
  url: 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/72x72/',
  format: 'png',
});

// Using a custom builder function
fontStore.registerEmojiSource({
  builder: (code) => `https://example.com/emojis/${code}.png`,
});

The code parameter passed to the builder is a hyphen-separated string of hex code points (e.g., 1f44d for 👍 or 1f44d-1f3ff for 👍🏿).

Set withVariationSelectors: true if your emoji source requires variation selectors in the code points.

Hyphenation

Register a hyphenation callback for text wrapping:

import hyphenationCallback from 'hyphen/en';

fontStore.registerHyphenationCallback(hyphenationCallback);
