What are some alternative methods or tools for converting a truetype font for use in a PDF document in PHP?

To convert a truetype font for use in a PDF document in PHP, one alternative method is to use the TCPDF library, which supports embedding custom fonts in PDF documents. Another option is to convert the truetype font to a web font format like WOFF or WOFF2, and then use CSS to specify the font in the PDF document. 

// Using TCPDF library to embed custom font
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// Create new TCPDF object
$pdf = new TCPDF();

// Add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

// Set font
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 12);

// Output text with custom font
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Hello World', 0, 1, 'C');

// Output PDF
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
