Can't use custom fonts properly

See original GitHub issue

I am using the 1.4.1 version of jsPDF in my Angular 5 project. I’m trying to add some custom fonts to my pdf but it’s not working. It throws the following error :

Font does not exist in FileInVFS, import fonts or remove declaration doc.addFont('nameOfTheFont').

So i tried to add files to VFS like this :

doc = new jsPDF();
doc.addFileToVFS(nameOfTheFont, FontBase64Encoded);

And it’s not throwing errors anymore, the PDF is well generated but the font is not working at all in the pdf.

Did I missed something ?

I tried to add “WinAnsiEncoding” at the end and it gets better (just a little because instead of unreadable characters, i have default font characters now).

doc.addFont(nameOfTheFont, nameOfTheFont,"normal","WinAnsiEncoding");

Even if it is still throwing the same error message, I do see the name of the font when i do a console.log(doc.getFontList()); but it’s not displaying the proper font when i set it.

I think it is duplicate of #1902
