!Manual/Data/Chapter9

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Teaching/ Selecting Fonts


Optical includes a powerful font manager enabling it to recognise new fonts (typefaces). This is useful when a certain letter is continually misread, or for learning entire new fonts.

The Font manager window can be opened either from the Icon bar menu, or from the toolbox or menu in a window showing a scanned image.

The window contains two main regions...


9.1 Font management

The writable area shows the name of the font which all editing actions currently apply to.

It is possible to rename this by altering it in the writable area, and then pressing Return.

9.1.1 The Font definer menu

To the right of this there is a button. Clicking on it opens a menu.

The menu items above the dotted line are the names of the font definitions stored in memory. The ticked one is the one that is currently being edited (with the name in the writable area.) To select a different font, click with Select on it. Clicking with Adjust also selects the font, but also keeps the menu open.

Below the dotted line, Delete Font deletes the font definition currently selected, but gives a warning first.

To create a new font from scratch, open the New font submenu, and enter its name into the writable area. Then press Return, or click on what you have typed to register it. This font should then appear with the other fonts in the menu. It is also automatically selected.

Selecting Load defaults re-loads the font definitions which are stored inside Optical.

The rest of section 9.1.1 does not apply to the demonstration version because it is not possible to save font definitions...

Save defaults saves the current font definitions inside Optical, so that they are loaded when it starts up in future.

Font definitions can be saved using the standard RISC OS procedures by dragging the icon from the Save fonts... submenu to a Filer window.

9.1.2 Loading an Optical font file

To load a font file, double-click on it in a Filer window, or drag it to Optical on the icon bar, or to the Font manager window. If there are already font definitions in memory, then you will be asked whether you would like the fonts to merge with the current ones or replace them.

Double-clicking on an Optical font file when Optical is not loaded starts up Optical with that font file instead of the default one. (The !OptclPro application has to have been seen by the Filer for this to work.)

9.1.3 Defined characters

Defined characters... opens a window displaying all the characters defined in the currently selected font.

Clicking on the characters enter them into the writable area next to the Delete > button.

9.1.4 Deleting a character from a font

Pressing Delete > deletes all circumstances of the character in the writable icon next to it, from the selected font.

9.1.5 Font style translation

Clicking on the Translation... button opens another window.

As Optical can distinguish between different typefaces, it needs to know how to display them, and how to tell other packages to display them.

The Acorn font equivalent is the font that the selected font will be displayed as when Show full quality is selected from the OCRed text menu (see Chapter 7.1.7 - Display > Show full quality.) It is also used when saving Impression DDF files.

The Font description and style information is used when saving RTF files. Since font names on other machines are different from the Acorn variations, the easiest way of transferring typefaces is to give a brief description of what sort of font it is:

There are seven different styles which can be selected from, and also whether the font is bold or italic.

When selecting an Acorn font equivalent, Optical automatically makes a guess as to the font description, but this can be altered if wrong, by clicking on the various options. Clicking on Guess in the bottom right makes Optical re-guess the font description.

Clicking on Close closes the window.

For more information on Impression DDF files and RTF files, see Chapter 7.1.2 - File > Save....


9.2 Teaching & learning

9.2.1 Learning an Acorn Outline font

This feature automatically creates an Optical font definition for the whole or part of any Acorn Outline font.

Clicking on Learn Acorn font... brings up a menu containing all the Acorn Outline fonts currently installed on your system.

Selecting a font opens a window.

The entry next to Font: is the name of the Acorn Outline font to be learnt.

The writable area next to To: is the name of the Optical font which the new definitions are to be put in. The Acorn font name is automatically entered when this window is opened, but can be altered. The button next to this opens a menu containing the names of Optical fonts already created. Selecting one of these enters the name into the writable area, so that the new font definitions are merged into that font.

The writable area next to Preview shows what the selected font actually looks like.

You can select which characters need to be learnt using the lower part of this window: if they are highlighted, then they are learnt. To select a character, click on it with Select. To deselect a character, click with Adjust.

The selected characters are remembered when Save is used from the Preferences window.

The buttons labelled A-Z, a-z, 0-9, Symbols, > 126, > 191 allow multiple characters to be selected or deselected using the same mouse clicks as before. For example, clicking with Select on a-z selects all lower case letters; clicking with Adjust on Symbols deselects all character symbols such as *&^,@.

The Learn button starts the learning process. During learning, a small window opens and shows the character currently being analysed.

Press Cancel if you decide not to go ahead.

9.2.2 Type teaching

Clicking on Type teach... puts Optical into Type teaching mode. This button can only be used if some text has already been OCRed, and its corresponding scanned image is resident in memory.

In this mode, the OCRed text and Scanned image windows merge into one. More importantly, it becomes possible to correct Optical by typing into the text (bottom) part of the window. The image (top) part of the window scrolls automatically to show the current character which is about to be corrected. The next character to be typed is also OCRed and displayed automatically.

The characters in the image part of the window are all highlighted to show which characters have been picked up. The text in the bottom part of the window is shaded in greys - the darker the shade, the more likely that Optical has chosen the wrong character. If characters are red, it means that they cannot be taught.

The title bar of this window shows the Optical font currently being edited. To change this font click Menu over the top part of the window, and select one of the alternative fonts which pop up. Pressing SHIFT while clicking with Select on a character also changes the current font to the font that that character is thought to be in.

Note If there are no fonts in memory, then a new font called (Unnamed) will be automatically created and used.

If you type in a character which is different from Optical's interpretation, it learns from the correction. Optical also learns the character if it got it right, but was not very confident about it.

If Read ahead in TT is selected from the Preferences window (see Chapter 5.2.4 - Read ahead in TT) then all of the text following a correction is also automatically re-OCRed so that you can see its effect.

The left, right, up and down cursor keys can be used to move the cursor around. Each character passed is re-OCRed.

Alternatively, the cursor position can be changed by moving the mouse and clicking on a new character somewhere in the text.

Pressing Space has no effect, as the cursor never lands on spaces, and the space character cannot be defined.

Pressing Delete on the keyboard causes the last defined character definition to be removed from memory. An undo buffer of 100 corrections are stored.

Pressing Escape, selecting Stop teaching from the OCRed text menu, or clicking on Stop teaching in the Font manager window, gets out of Type teaching mode.

Note When Type teaching, try to avoid typing in corrections for very badly formed letters, as these could affect the accuracy of recognition of other characters.

If two characters are joined together in the image part of the window, then click on them with Alt on the keyboard pressed to split them. For more details on splitting joined characters see Chapter 7.2.2 - Splitting joined characters.)


9.3 Other buttons

There are two more buttons right at the bottom of the Font manager window:

Close closes the Font manager window.

Here is a description of the other...

9.3.1 Selecting fonts to be used

Clicking on Active fonts... opens the Font selector window which is used to select which fonts Optical is allowed to recognise while OCRing.

Pressing the button to the right of Selected active fonts opens a menu containing all currently loaded font definitions.

If a font name has a tick to the left of it, then it will be used to read a page of text. If it is not ticked, then it will not be used. This means that Optical will probably have more trouble reading text in that font.

To select and deselect fonts, click on them in this menu. Click with Adjust if you want to select/ deselect more than one font, as this keeps the menu open each time. Clicking with Select closes the menu after a selection.

The font name next to Displayed: is the font that is displayed in the lower part of the Font selector window. The button to the right of this produces a menu of fonts which are selected. Selecting a name from this menu, makes it the displayed font.

If the characters in the lower part of the window are highlighted then they are selected, and used during reading. To select a character, click on it with Select; to deselect, click with Adjust.

The buttons labelled A-Z, a-z, 0-9, Symbols, > 126, > 191 allow multiple characters to be selected or deselected using the same mouse clicks as before. For example, clicking with Select on a-z selects all lower case letters; clicking with Adjust on Symbols deselects all character symbols such as *&^,@.

The Close button closes the window.

An example of the Font selector's use is when OCRing a table of numbers. If only 0-9 and a decimal point are selected, then the OCR process will be much more accurate and also faster.

It is also possible to select foreign characters (ie >191) when needed for reading such scripts.
