A bite-sized case study of declaring fonts in a PDF document:

Zend_Pdf (from the makers of PHP no less):

$mainstyle = new Zend_Pdf_Style();
$mainstyle->setFont(Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA), 9);

FPDF (open source project last updated 3 years ago):

$fpdf->SetFont(’Arial’,”,9);

FPDF wins.
