SVG example fails because expected fonts are missing from OS

I'm on Manjaro Linux and I think I don't have Arial or Helvetica.
Running this example:
import pero
# init size
width = 200
height = 200
# init canvas
canvas = pero.svg.SVGCanvas(width=width, height=height)
# draw graphics
canvas.line_color = "b"
canvas.fill_color = "w"
canvas.fill()
canvas.draw_circle(100, 100, 75)
# save to file
with open('test.svg', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
f.write(canvas.get_xml())
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
