title: Why am I getting "`OSError: unknown file format`" when opening a TTF with `PIL.ImageFont`?
body: <p>In Google Colab I am using <code>PIL</code> (Python Imaging Library). I have uploaded a TrueType Font <code>MSMINCHO.TTF</code>.</p>
  <p>I am attempting to read it with <code>fnt_kanji = ImageFont.truetype('./MSMINCHO.TTF')</code> but I get the error &quot;<code>OSError: unknown file format</code>&quot;.</p>
  <p>I know the font is valid because it displays correctly in my local system. And the encoding is Unicode as it should be, since this font contains kanji (Chinese characters). And the filepath is also valid and correctly cased (otherwise, &quot;<code>OSError: cannot open resource</code>&quot; is thrown instead).</p>
  <p>I've been searching for the solution in the docs and the web for more than half an hour and haven't found it.</p>
