Does anyone have experience adding new fonts to FPDF? The package comes with helvetica, times and courier; I'd like to make PDFs that use Copperplate Gothic.

any advice is appreciated

I stumbled my way through the process earlier this year because I needed some special symbols in the Wingding font. It did some weird things in the conversion that I had to work around.

On the fpdf site there's tutorial #7 which steps you through the process. Where are you getting stuck?

OK, that was a RTFM situation. I didn't see that tutorial. I don't have time to go through it now, but I'll bookmark that and try it tomorrow.

thanks... if I do get stuck, I'll post here again :)
