Hi,
I am new to Go and gopdf.
When I am trying to create pdf just to print the "Hi! This is normal.", using below code.

    pdf := gopdf.GoPdf{}
pdf.Start(gopdf.Config{PageSize: *gopdf.PageSizeA4})
pdf.AddPage()
    pdf.Cell(nil, "Hi! This is normal.")
pdf.Br(20)
pdf.Cell(nil, "Hi! This is italic.")
pdf.WritePdf("italic.pdf")

I am getting below exception.
[neerus@data-domain-dev-vm main]$ go run main.go
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x1e8 pc=0x4c4ae3]

Please help me in How can I address this error

I guess because you haven't set the font yet.

pdf := gopdf.GoPdf{}
pdf.Start(gopdf.Config{PageSize: *gopdf.PageSizeA4})

//add ttf file and set font 
pdf.AddTTFFont("some", "some.ttf")
pdf.SetFont("some", "", 14)

pdf.AddPage()
pdf.Cell(nil, "Hi! This is normal.")
pdf.Br(20)
pdf.Cell(nil, "Hi! This is italic.")
pdf.WritePdf("italic.pdf")

Thanks it worked now

same issue. why not set the default TTF file? I did not found any document talk I must set the font value.
