Does anybody have any experience with different fonts for OCR? I am generating an ID then trying to scan it with tesseract. At the moment I am just T&E'n different fonts, but this seems pretty inefficient. I've tried the OCR* family of fonts, and various others such as Arial and Georgia. The tesseract tends to get confused with the OCR* fonts.
Is there any font specifically designed for tesseract, or any system font which works well with it?
Okay, a search on google comes up with this, a specific OCR font: OCR Font
Looks like it's a standard adopted in 1973.
