I would like to show the user the OCR output in my Windows application in a graphical form (the OCR'd characters, in the specified font, in the right location), in order to do that I need to pick a font to draw the OCR output text in, and it seems like I have two choices - 1) Map the Tesseract font to something Windows can understand 2) Use the actual Tesseract font
For #1, Tesseract uses a lot of fonts that I've got on my Windows box (Times New Roman, Arial, etc.) but then it also comes up with some I don't have (Century Schoolbook). Is there a way to enumerate all the names of the fonts that Tesseract might return? I can then decide whether it's easier to find Windows equivalent for all the fonts, or to download fonts (if they are free and have nice licensing). For #2, it's not enough to just display the selected portion of the source image, that doesn't tell the user anything. I would need a way to ask Tesseract, "what is the glyph for an uppercase G in an Arial font of height 34". Does that exist?
