ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
Supported Gothic fonts
You may need to install additional Windows fonts in order to have the text displayed in a Gothic
typeface in the recognition results.
ABBYY FineReader supports the following Gothic scripts:
1. Textur/Textualis — blackletter typeface.
2. Fraktur — blackletter typeface with angluar strokes.
3. Schwabacher — "broken" typeface with rounded strokes in some letters.
If no Gothic fonts are installed, the recognition results will be displayed in either Arial, Times, or
Courier.
Instructions for recognizing text written in Gothic script
To recognize a document that contains Gothic typeface text, do the following:
1. In the OCR Editor window, select More languages... from the Languages drop-down list on the
main toolbar. In the Language Editor dialog that opens, select the Specify OCR languages
manually option and specify the appropriate language from the list. Then click OK.
Selecting several recognition languages at the same time (e.g. English and Old English or
German and old German) may negatively affect the recognition results. To avoid this, specify only
the language that will be used to recognize the Gothic text .
For more information on how to launch the OCR Editor, see Launching the OCR Editor .
2. Scan or open the images.
For more information, see Obtaining documents .
3. Click the button on the main toolbar.
The recognition results will be displayed in the Text window.
