mjcarter95 commented 1 year ago

Description

ValueError: Only supported for TrueType fonts when trying to create a WorldCloud on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.10.6.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from wordcloud import WordCloud
wc = WordCloud(background_color="white", font_path="./arial.ttf", width=800, height=400)
wc.generate("foo bar foo bar hello world")
plt.axis("off")
plt.imshow(wc)
plt.savefig("test.png")
plt.show()

arial.ttf is downloaded from https://www.freefontspro.com/14454/arial.ttf and placed in the same directory as the above Python code.

Expected Results

No error thrown, world cloud of "foo bar foo bar hello world" is produced and shown.

Actual Results

The following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/6db3226b-5f96-4257-980d-bb8ec1dad8e7/test.py", line 4, in <module>

Did you solve this problem, please?I tried to fix this yesterday, but I spent a long time trying a lot of fonts and it didn't work...

A suggestion on StackOverflow solved the issue for me, see here.

libfreetype6 was installed on my system but (I assume) out of date, running

sudo apt install libfreetype6

fixed the error for me!

@mjcarter95 your issue is still relevant: could you reopen it or should I open a new one?

I have the same exact error message but no options to try apt I am on Windows 7, Python 3.8:

OK, the same problem reproduced also in a different Windows 10 machine, Python 3.9.9, Pillow 9.0.1.

So I tried this (alternative answer to the same SO question above):

pip install --upgrade pillow

That upgraded Pillow to version 9.5.0 and solved my problem in both Windows machines

sunzhicheng369 commented 1 year ago

Problem solved， thank you

kirtijain627 commented 1 year ago

Pillow version is 9.5.0, python- 3.10.5. Still the problem is not solved

This doesn't solve the problem on windows. Pillow version is 9.5.0, python- 3.10.0. Anaconda Enviornemnt Restarted. Windows Restarted. Double checked that font file exists and is ttf. Still the problem is not solved.
