    Font Help

    Hey guys,

    OK here is my problem.

    I have a PDF which is written in Hieroglyphs using a custom font. (Look here: http://www.fontmenu.com/site/_nahkt-hierogphyphs.html)

    The PDF is just an image to prevent copying and pasting from it.

    So what I need is OCR software which can look at the image and produce the original Hieroglyphic text as characters in a Word document.

    Does anyone know of a OCR program which allows you to import a custom font?

    Any help with this is GREATLY appreciated,

    Ian Duffy

    I think it will be faster and easier to just buy that font for $9.95.

    Or search some font sights like myfonts or dafont for a free hieroglyph font.

    A more tedious way would be to use photoshop and crop each glyph, save it as a separate file and paste them in.

    I already have the font thats not the problem.

    I need to able to translate the text into English.

    This isn't possible with the original image, I need to convert it to text as if I'd typed it.

    If you have the font, why not type it again?
