System and method for accurately recognizing text font in a document processing system

Abstract

A system and method for accurately recognizing the font of text in an image generates a bitmap of the text character represented by a font in the image and compares that bitmap to the bitmaps of characters stored in a memory. Statistics are gathered on the best matching fonts over the characters in a quantity sufficient to ascertain the most commonly occurring font. The most commonly occurring font is then selected from all fonts in the memory to represent the original image.
