Need a simple explination to embed fonts with FPDF

Question

Hi everyone, I'm trying to embed Helvetica Neue into my PDF, but all of the resources I find online are overly complicated and filled with what I think is unneeded information.

Can anyone point me to a step by step tutorial of how to include fonts in FPDF?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately this is way more difficult than it should be, albeit I got it working. The link below is a great reference, but I couldn't get fondu to install so I had to use TrueType on Windows, TransType Pro.

I did just find this HTML to PDF generator and may look into that, it seems pretty easy to customize compared to FPDF. http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/
