Avoid error like file_get_contents(/assets/my_font.woff): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in vendor/dompdf/dompdf/include/font_metrics.cls.php.
Requirement: the pull request dompdf/dompdf#796 need to be merged in DomPDF repositiory and a new release tagged.

[barryvdh]

So we have to wait before that PR is merged and a new release is tagged?

[tortuetorche]

It'll be OK if you merge this pull request now, but to take effect, the dompdf/dompdf#796 need to be merged then, like you said, a new DOMPDF release need to be tagged.

Sorry for my bad English.
By the way, your package is really useful for me, many thanks Barry 😉

[barryvdh]

And when does this issue occur? Do you have a small testcase so I can recreate this issue? I've never encountered this before..

[tortuetorche]

Of course, in your CSS file, if you have things like this:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
  src: url(/assets/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff);
}

[barryvdh]

Doesn't assets/fonts instead of /assets/fonts work? I thought that was what set_base_path() was for, to make it relative from the public folder.

[tortuetorche]

Doesn't assets/fonts instead of /assets/fonts work?

Yes, it work, but I share my CSS file with the web application and the generated PDF files.
So, I need yo keep the first /, otherwise I have this error in my Web browser:
GET http://localhost:8000/assets/assets/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff 404 (Not Found)
See the double assets.
FYI, there is already a discussion about this here: dompdf/dompdf/issues/739.

I thought that was what set_base_path() was for, to make it relative from the public folder.

It should, my pull request fix this behavior for font URLs.

[barryvdh]

Okay, and using the asset() function in Laravel? That should work for both cases.

[tortuetorche]

The font URL isn't generated in a PHP file, so I can't use the asset() function of Laravel.
Of course we can use this function in DOMPDF libray, here.
But it's an agnostic library who doesn't depends on Laravel.

[barryvdh]

Okay I thought you were using it in a Blade template or something like that.
Let's see if the PR get's merged. Let me know if there is an status update.

[tortuetorche]

Let me know if there is an status update.

OK, I will.

[barryvdh]

Closing this untill further updates.
