Hello, I am facing error in the paddleocr code that is mentioned in the Quickstart menu.
Here is the error:

OSError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[17], line 7
5 txts = [line[1][0] for line in rresult]

8 im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
9 im_show.save('result.jpg')

Can someone help me out with this ?

i am facing the same problem. Did you find a solution?

create a folder named fonts at mkdir ./fonts and then go inside fonts cd ./fonts then run wget https://huggingface.co/spaces/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/resolve/main/simfang.ttf?download=true, if you are on linux.
