I'm developing a program for translating card games. It frequently uses Gothic and grotesque fonts, which are often recognized with errors.
The project includes otf/ttf files for these fonts.
Is it possible to dynamically indicate to the OCR that the recognized text has a specific font (or font directory) without training the model?

Hi,

no this is not possible. If you have a very specific font, you need to finetune the model.
