I am following the answer provided by Erik Kalkoken in this question UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u2013' (writing to PDF). I have already installed NotoSansTC-Regular.otf in the font system folder of my m1 Mac, but run pdf.add_font("NotoSans", style="", fname="NotoSansTC-Regular.otf", uni=True) , i get this error:
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

I noticed the system seems looking for ttf file, but mine is a otf file. How to fix this?
