Does not correctly scan OCR-A #1394

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Produce a TIFF of OCR-A text (using the 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ocr-a-font/ )
2.  $ tesseract page_1.tif out.txt
3.  $ vim out.txt.txt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  Something highly similar to exact text

  Something that looks like the exact text

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3.02 from source + English language pack.

Please provide any additional information below.

I find it odd that an OCR tool can have such difficulty reading a font that is 
internationally adopted from an ANSI specification and designed for machine 
readability.  A scanned character that measures some 90 pixels tall by 60 wide, 
I would figure would have enough detail.
