Could you give more detail on what you are trying to do? Do you want more font options when using Recognize Text Using OCR?

Thank you for responding Kelly,

OCR ClearScan failed to recognize some text. I have a open numeral 4 and a closed numeral 4 (recognized).
Can I included more font options in the scan? I am a new user (just guessing) so any suggestion you can make would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again

I'd be interested in this also. I frequently have to OCR documents with non-standard fonts. At least, they're non-standard to everyone else, but they're standard in the construction industry, like cityblue and archstyle.

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately you can not expand the fonts that OCR automatically recognizes. You could, however, try changing the fonts by using the Touch Up Text tool, Right-clicking, choosing Properties & changing the font. Make sure you Embed the font, once finished (so viewers who don't have that typeface can see it properly).
