Latin and 13 Arabic typefaces have been tested in two sizes using six OCR packages in total. In addition, confusion tables have been constructed to show similarities among some characters of the alphabet. Extensive analyses were made to find correlations between the recognition rates and font design characteristics. Our findings indicate that some font design features showed influence and negative effects on the recognition rate. This will guide typeface designers to produce recognizable typefaces and publishers to select the appropriate recognizable fonts.
