### What issue do you have?

While debugging another issue related to enabling OCR, I saw this error in the console:

> The standard font "baseUrl" parameter must be specified, ensure that the "standardFontDataUrl" API parameter is provided

I hope the attached screenshot provides enough context for this issue. A quick google search for this error returned a couple plausible-sounding explanations:
