Code Review

This pull request is an automated security fix from Snyk, which pins the fonttools dependency to version 4.61.0 or higher to resolve a vulnerability. The change correctly addresses the security issue by ensuring a non-vulnerable version of this transitive dependency is used. I've added one suggestion to consider pinning all dependencies with exact versions (==) for improved build reproducibility, which is a common best practice for Python projects.

[gemini-code-assist]

While pinning this transitive dependency with >= is a good security improvement, the other dependencies (torch, matplotlib) are not pinned. For better build reproducibility, it's a best practice to pin all dependencies to exact versions using ==.

This prevents unexpected issues caused by dependency updates and ensures everyone works with the same package versions. Consider pinning all dependencies in this file. Using == for fonttools would also align with this practice.

fonttools==4.61.0 # not directly required, pinned by Snyk to avoid a vulnerability
