I have reinstalled my Yii2 application using newest server stack from Bitnami. But there is one remaining issue that I cannot resolve in any way.
Mpdf does not see my custom fonts despite having defined this before Pdf instantiation:
define("_MPDF_SYSTEM_TTFONTS", Yii::getAlias('@webroot/fonts/'));
I am getting this error:
2020-11-28 15:29:08 [5.173.161.70][-][is46fr5fu08dvg8lthf00obqio][error][Mpdf\MpdfException:1] Mpdf\MpdfException: Cannot find TTF TrueType font file "Roboto-Regular.ttf" in configured font directories. in /opt/bitnami/hrpanel2/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/src/Fonts/FontFileFinder.php:33

I have also tried stating absolute path instead of @webroot but it did not change anything.
I suppose this has stopped working because of the updated components, but I cannot figure out how to correct this. Any hints will be appreciated.

Here is complete code of the function with Pdf definition:

Yii::$app->response->format = \yii\web\Response::FORMAT_RAW;
$content = Yii::$app->controller->renderPartial($view, $data);
$header = Yii::$app->controller->renderPartial($headerView, $data);
$cssInline = file_get_contents(Yii::getAlias('@webroot/source/css/report.css'));
$pdf = new Pdf([

'options' => [
'title' => $this->getDocTitle(),
'img_dpi' => 300,
'debug' => true,
'fontdata' => [
"dejavusanscondensed" => [
'R' => "Roboto-Regular.ttf",

$pdf->filename = $this->getDocFilename(). '.pdf';
return $pdf->render();
Your dependency of kartik-v/yii2-mpdf without a constraint installed the last mPDF version 8.x which handles fonts differently.
Quick solution: change your composer constraint to "kartik-v/yii2-mpdf": "1.0.1" and do a composer update, which will install mPDF 6.x where _MPDF_SYSTEM_TTFONTS still works.
If you need newer PHP support, first change your PHP needs in your composer.json file - that will rule out a few potentialy non-compatible libraries on composer update.
Then install the last version of kartik-v/yii2-mpdf (also with an upper version bound) and set up its options key like this:
$defaultConfig = (new Mpdf\Config\ConfigVariables())->getDefaults();
$fontDirs = $defaultConfig['fontDir'];
$defaultFontConfig = (new Mpdf\Config\FontVariables())->getDefaults();
$fontData = $defaultFontConfig['fontdata'];
$pdf = new Pdf([
...
'options' => [
...
'fontDir' => array_merge($fontDirs, [
Yii::getAlias('@webroot/fonts/'),
]),
'fontdata' => array_merge($fontData, [
"dejavusanscondensed" => [
'R' => "Roboto-Regular.ttf",
'I' => "Roboto-Regular.ttf",
'B' => "Roboto-Bold.ttf",
],
]),
'default_font' => 'dejavusanscondensed'
],
...
]);
Maybe name the font "roboto" correctly to prevent confusion in the future.
Consult the documentation for further details. https://mpdf.github.io/fonts-languages/fonts-in-mpdf-7-x.html
Generally, you don't want to have asterisks * as constraints in your composer.json. Always include upper bound to prevent these changes in behaviour.
