In this tutorial, we'll show you **how to add and use custom fonts in FPDF2**, a powerful and lightweight PDF generation library in Python. If you're generating PDFs for branding, design, or personal use, custom fonts can greatly enhance the look and feel of your documents.
By default, FPDF2 only supports a few core fonts (like Arial, Times, Courier), but you can easily extend this by registering your own **.TTF (TrueType Font)** files. This is incredibly helpful if you need to match a company’s visual identity or just want your PDFs to look more polished and professional.
