    Hello,

    That error appears when trying to use a not supported font family. Although the next release of phpdocx will remove it, you can update the method replacing this line:

    $font = Font_Metrics::get_font($family, $subtype);

    with:

    $font = $family;

    And:

    $family = null;
if ($DEBUGCSS)  print '(default)';
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font($family, $subtype);

    with:

    $family = null;
//if ($DEBUGCSS)  print '(default)';
$font = $family;

    Also remove the Exception in the same method:

    throw new Exception("Unable to find a suitable font replacement for: '" . $this->_props["font_family"] ."'");

    Regards.

    Hello,

    The Font_Metrics class exception when trying to use a not valid font was removed with the release of phpdocx 9.

    Regards.
