 Quick Start
 
 The following Go code generates a simple PDF.
 
-	pdf := fpdf.New("P", "mm", "A4", "../font")
+	pdf := gofpdf.New("P", "mm", "A4", "../font")
 	pdf.AddPage()
 	pdf.SetFont("Arial", "B", 16)
 	pdf.Cell(40, 10, "Hello, world")

+Nonstandard Fonts
+
+Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica,
+times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont().
+
+In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a
+font definition file and, if the font will be embeded into PDFs, a compressed
+version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or
+using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd
+into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a
+standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from
+the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example.
+
+	./makefont --embed --enc=../font/cp1252.map --dst=../font ../font/calligra.ttf
+
+In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the
+standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. See tutorial 7 for an example.
