    Hi there,
    I’m using “Yekan” font to create pdf file from gravity form entries. when selecting the custom font, the pdf version includes spece between each letter of a word. I saw the link you’d supported someone else, but didn’t know where should I exactly put the code you and what should I replace in the code according to my custom font named “Yekan”.

    add_filter( 'mpdf_font_data', function( $fonts ) {
   if ( isset( $fonts['notosans'] ) ) {
      $fonts['notosans']['useOTL']     = 0xFF;
      $fonts['notosans']['useKashida'] = 50;
   }

   return $fonts;
}, 15 );

    Regards.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If you are running Gravity PDF 6+ the code snippet is no longer required. The new Font Manager will automatically enable OTL support for font files that include this information.

    Please provide a direct link to a place to download the Yekan font you are using, and provide the string of text you are having trouble correctly displaying in the PDF.

    A screenshot of how the text currently looks in your PDF and how it should look would also be appreciated.

    I checked out the font file provided and see it doesn’t included the appropriate OFL tables needed to correctly kern the letters in the PDF. You’ll need to use a different font if you’d like the Arabic letters to display correctly.
