I'm helping my father with some OCR scanning (text on paper -> text in a word document) of some of his notes from way back. For some reason he used a silly font and the program is having a hard time recognizing it. I'm trying to find the font in question as it will probably save me hours of work going through all the errors created by the program not recognizing the font correctly.

Care to help me out?

I found a very similar font called DF Pigtail Fat and I'm wondering if that might work. It's not a free font though. If anyone knows a good way to obtain this font for free, please PM me .

You could try using 'What The Font': http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

I tried a cropping of your image but the site seems to be experiencing an error. Probably worth checking again later to see if it's working.

Cool link. I tried it with this crop: [image loading] but the site couldn't identify it (it offered a couple of guesses, but none were close).

I tried finding the names of the fonts used in typewriters in the past. The letters that were hit by the hammer were on a wheel and exchangeable.

[image loading]

This is a supplier selling stuff for typewriters and a list of Brother fonts: http://www.mpsupplies.com/brotherwordprocessordaisywheel.html

The "SCRIPT STYLE" part number BR405 sounds like it could be what your father used in his stuff.

But I did not manage to find information about the fonts used in the different parts sold there.
