lledit (was: OCRopus 0.5.4 - a missing run-time prerequisite)

[Janusz S. Bień]

As I have now OCRopus installed I would like to experiment with
lledit. I understand the right tool for creating the database is
ocrupus-cluster-db, but it seems unavailable. Am I missing something?

Best regards

Janusz

Please see the playlist here, which runs you through the steps in 0.5 (the steps haven't changed, but the commands are different, and the database format is now HDF5):

Trying to reproduce the 1st minute of the second video on my machine I get

user@Mint-VirtualBox ~ $ llgen -f llgen.fonts

=== /home/tmb/bin/Fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf @ 36

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/llgen", line 160, in <module>
font = ImageFont.truetype(fontfile,size)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 218, in
truetype
return FreeTypeFont(filename, size, index, encoding)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 134, in
__init__
self.font = core.getfont(file, size, index, encoding)
IOError: cannot open resource

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards

Well, it is telling you: it can't find the font because you don't have it installed.  You need to get a collection of TrueType fonts for training, put them in some directory, and then point the llgen command at that directory using its options (type llgen --help to find the option).

There are lots of TrueType fonts you can install on Ubuntu; do an "apt-cache search truetype font", then install them.

You can also find TrueType fonts on your machine with "locate .ttf".

I intended to put the fonts in the default directory but made a
mistake. Sorry for bothering you.
