Yes, this font is called Tamalten. But the problem is that I need to use another font (that is Balaram in the font list I send). This is part of a project of Vedic scriptures, you can see the online version here: http://vedabase.com/en Those texts I need to get from those PDFs are for the offline version which uses Balaram font. So these two are not compatible. So a find&replace method to get the proper symbols is ok since there are not much material to get from those pdfs.
In a broader sense there are people who are traveling throughout Indian libraries to photograph old manuscripts to preserve and digitize them. So for that purpose a working OCR will be much needed. I think I will contact one person because if he actually needs the help in this regard, it will be definitely worth trying to train tesseract to properly recognize those images. But that is native sanskrit, bengali and other languages. And there are others who are looking for solution to be able to recognize sanskrit transliteration also. What do you think, can it be done in tesseract? No Finereader or other commercial orc programs cannot do that.
