HTML to PDF Not using the FONTS I've specified
Hit her, I have little to no background on coding, so maybe it's my bad.
I have been trying to create a PDF document from an HTML, where in the head I specify the style of the text using a Google Font. However, the document generated does not use my style.
Here is what is in my head:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: 'Lexend';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(data:font/woff2;charset=utf-8;base64, /* base64-encoded font data here */) format('woff2');
}

It seems you're trying to create a PDF document from an HTML file using Google Font styles, but the document generated does not apply your font style correctly. This is a common issue that can arise from the way the PDF generator processes the fonts.
From the information retrieved, here are a few steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Ensure Font Encoding is Correct:
Make sure that the base64-encoded font data is correctly included in your HTML. Any error in the encoding can prevent the font from being properly applied.
2. Use Web-Fonts for PDF Generation:
Some PDF generation services may not support base64-encoded fonts. Instead, use a web-hosted version of the font by linking to it directly in your HTML. For example:
3. Test with a Different PDF Generation Service:
Different PDF generation services handle fonts in various ways. Ensure you're using a compatible service that supports custom fonts. According to the BuildShip documentation, they support converting HTML to PDF and you might want to explore using their service【4:14†source】.
