I digged around and found the raw tiff/box package in the downloads page: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/detail?name=eng.traineddata.gz&can=2&q=
But without a batch file to build the .tr files, re-building all 32 fonts from command line would be terrifying. But I don't see an alternative other than to bite the bullet. The plan is to take out one of the fonts from the package and replace it with my own tif/box pair, then proceed to buy a super cheap one-time-use keyboard for this assignment -- I don't want to wear out my Logitech Keyboard.
