DOMPDF set font for entire page?

Question

Hi

Im using DOMPDF over at http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/

I am struggling how to set the font for the entire page. In the template I have made I have the font set to Helvetica in the CSS but when it generates the PDF it defaults to Times New Roman. When I try

<script type="text/php">{literal}if ( isset($pdf) ) { 
    $font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
    $pdf->page_text(72, 18, "TEST!", $font, 6, array(0,0,0));}
{/literal}</script>

It prints the TEST! text in the font. However how do I get it to apply to the whole page?

Thanks

DOMPDF supports CSS, so you can just define the font in your CSS file and load it like you normally would on a page:

body {
    font-family: 'Helvetica'
}
