Support for Custom Fonts? Custom Training? #261

Hi,

I am testing out EasyOCR and it's really good! EasyOCR passed all my use cases but I noticed its accuracy drops when a custom font is used.

For example, VICTORY is VGIORY and Royale seems to be OYJIE.

Can we train/use EasyOCR with a custom font?

Great work team! It's pretty amazing already!

Thanks

We plan to add support for data generation (using custom font) and training script soon (hopefully within this year).

Any update on this? I am running into a similar issue with a project where I want to grab url's from the url box on a Twitch stream, and I am sure if I used only training data from the default chrome font, it would be a lot more accurate.
