I have successfully installed Tesseract through MacPorts along with Italian language package. Tesseract seems to work properly, but when I open the output file I can't read it as it is full of strange characters and meaningless words: it seems that there is something wrong with the character set.
The TIFF image that I try to read has been exported using Photoshop CS4. I really don't know what to do.. Here's the output: L,I(:lEt I’r0gra — Gllìffì ecl ege1:r1c>r.1ie i11 lìurcp Russia- -- ];,’ espa11si©·r1e eurcpea: il ccrr dei gesuiti; i111p·elrialisrr1c ecclc; —3it11azic11te ec•;:•11c:•1:11ica e p·cliti c r1tr«c•llc:• sc-ciale- — Èiw/«c:•·l1JZi«(:¤11e Sci·e11tif`i.ca, Ill11rr — ìaratteri Clella Zlìivcluhzicme 1% eventi e ·c•::·•r1seg1..1e1t¤Ze- — (È-c¤·stitL1Zic:•11e degli Stati `LJ'11iti.; c1iffere11.Ze tra la ]2_ivcl11:zi-c11e a — r1apc1ec11icl1e- — (Èaratteri gerierali cìella ZEìj.·v'•::•11 - ]:)alle riveluzi-crii liberali al Il Filippc; Le ccnrreriti c11lt1.1rali dc — ¤C?rlacìs·tcr1e e ]:)israeli: la pcliti« seŕvitù della glelaa; Il ÀÈc11apa11 — [Ja vittcria della guerra fraricc — ,§'_;a1.1 — L1tc> — I caratteri della ]:Jcrgl‘1·es'ira eurn —— I..c:• sviluppc clel cattclicesirric scieritifìcca; ]§~·/I.ar>c e B$..]§l1I1iI1; lc: — I prclJle111i clcpc l’ uriifìcazicr 'I`estc« acìc-ttatc: «·Èiarcìi11a —— Sab] I rappresentanti éli classe alberta r3.`y’2.i1·...@i1i I*vI21rc«c:• Savoia D()·Il]_(|·dL*()‘SS'()I2.., 31..•·"()5fI)6 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
