How to choose a font with Text object?

This code does not change the font and letter become distorted (click on the image to enlarge and look at letters: B, D, f, g, P, U...):

script = '''
AaBbCcDdEeFfGg
HhIiJjKkLlMmNn
OoPpQqRrSsTtUu
VvWwXxYyZz
'''

class WriteText(Scene):
  def construct(self):
    text = Text(script, font='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/open-sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf')
    self.play(Write(text))
    self.wait(.1)

!python3 -m manim example_scenes.py WriteText -r 480,854

If I change this line the result is kind of similar to the target, but I can’t choose regular and letters are distorted (look at the small g it has a stair on the top): text = Text(script, font="Open Sans")

from manimlib.imports import *

class Demo(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        svg = SVGMobject(file_name='temp.svg', stroke_color=BLUE)
        self.play(Write(svg))

The Text mobject is based on an other package called pycario, which only support for this way and it doesn’t support to use the font file directly, but I do find some way to use the font file directly, and I need to do some research which takes some time.

I doesn’t think it is a bug, it is just doesn’t support this feature at all.

So until I can finish this feature to Text mobject, you need to use the way I gave above.

Or you maybe you can try to write a function by yourself, I found that freetype-py dose support the way you want, but it needs some code to be integrated into manim.
