title: What is the ideal font for OCR?
body: <p>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&amp;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.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any font specifically designed for tesseract, or any system font which works well with it?</p>
