I agree. I do work on the documentation, but there is an awful lot missing. I appreciate you taking the time to ask questions here so we can help improve it. > The only documentation about Unicharset file that I could find is this: > https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn-history/r683/trunk/doc/ > unicharset.5.html > > But this is completely insufficient and not understandable. Yes, that's all there is, plus a very basic overview of the older format in the TrainingTesseract3 wiki page, IIRC. > And unicharset_extractor.exe produces wrong and uncomplete files.

The new training program set_unicharset_properties helps by setting some more of the properties automatically. You can see how I'm using it in my grc Makefile if you're interested[0]. However it doesn't set the dimensions of characters, as you've noticed. I started looking into this a little while ago, but ran out of time to go further (and you've clearly got further than I did already - good job!) We should figure out exactly what's required for each value together, and then I will very happily document it properly. I don't have time to look into your specific questions now, sorry, but between us we should be able to figure it out in short order. Thanks a lot for bringing this up; as I said, it has been bothering me, but I hadn't found the time to do anything much about it. More soon!
