Hi All I'm trying to train tesseract for the first time on my Mac. I'm running text2image as follows, but it is crashing in Pango as the priv data on the font is NULL.
/usr/local/Cellar/tesseract/HEAD/bin//text2image --leading=32 --fonts_dir=/Library/Fonts --box_padding=0 --strip_unrenderable_words --char_spacing=0.0 --exposure=0 --find_fonts=true --outputbase=/tmp/tesstrain/eng/eng.Helvetica_Neue_Thin.exp0 --text=./tesslang/eng/eng.training_text Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib 0x00000001090fad9e pango_fc_font_get_glyph + 25 1 text2image 0x000000010858bf58 tesseract::PangoFontInfo::CanRenderString(char const*, int, std::__1::vector<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > > >*) const + 322 2 text2image 0x000000010858d0ab tesseract::FontUtils::SelectFont(char const*, int, std::__1::vector<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > > > const&, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >*, std::__1::vector<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > > >*) + 287 3 text2image 0x0000000108592c06 tesseract::StringRenderer::RenderAllFontsToImage(double, char const*, int, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >*, Pix**) + 108 4 text2image 0x0000000108584149 main + 2750 5 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff932315fd start + 1 I installed from HEAD using homebrew and the instructions I found here https://ryanfb.github.io/etc/2014/11/19/installing_tesseract_training_tools_on_mac_os_x.html - Any ideas how to get around this crash? - Am I crazy running this on my Mac? Would I be better off with a Linux VM? - Does training from fonts work or am I better off starting with images (my data is analog HD screen captures of TV menus!)? I know the font the menus use. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you are able to give me. Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
