Invalid DXF attribute "align" for entity TEXT and fail to define font for TEXT wrote

[puppybrown]

①I am trying to add text element to an existing dxf file. Here is the code I am using:

msp.add_text(text, dxfattribs={'layer': 'testData', 'insert': insert_point,'align': 'CENTER','rotation': angle, 'height': 2000})

Before I didn't include the part of 'align' and it works just fine. However after I added 'align' it gaves me the error of Invalid DXF attribute "align" for entity TEXT. I checked the profile for class TEXT and it does include the part of align. I don't know what caused this so I tried another way to write it:

msp.add_text(text, insert=insert_point, height=2000, align="CENTER", rotation=angle, layer="testData")

which also didn't work and shows error add_text() got an unexpected keyword argument for any keywork in this sentence. I am quite confused and have to ask for help.

②Another question is when I tried to add text it has default font of "Arial'. I want to define the text's font as times new roman, and here are several methods I tried:

msp.add_text(text, dxfattribs={'layer': 'testData', 'insert': insert_point,'oblique': angle, 'height': 2000,'font':'times.ttf'})

if "testData" not in ez.layers:
ez.layers.add(name="testData", color=7, font = 'times.ttf')

they all didn't work. the first one gives error of invalide attribute 'font' for entity TEXT. the second one didn't report error but the font are still the default arial.

I would really appreciate any help with this. Thank you for your time.
