[Bug-ocrad] More characters

[Geir Gyland]

Hi!

I am involved in a project that is developing an aid tool for people with 
reading disabilities. 

We have developed our own hardware and are running linux 2.6.10 on an arm 
processor. 

 

We have tried ocrad and are very impressed with its performance also on the 
target platform. We see that it lacks support for Norwegian/Danish

characters and we would like to se support for this in a future version of 
ocrad (ASAP in fact). 

 

I looked up the Unicode values for the 6 characters; they are also part of ISO 
8859-1

 

Unicode characters for Norwegian/Danish:
00C6    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE (ash) *
        = LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE AE
00D8    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE
        = LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O SLASH
        x (empty set - 2205)
00C5    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
        x (angstrom sign - 212B)
        : 0041 030A
00E6    LATIN SMALL LETTER AE (ash) *
        = LATIN SMALL LIGATURE AE
        = ash (from Old English æsc)
        * Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese, Old English, French, IPA
        x (latin small ligature oe - 0153)
        x (cyrillic small ligature a ie - 04D5)
00F8    LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE
        = LATIN SMALL LETTER O SLASH
        * Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, IPA
00E5    LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
        * Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Walloon
        : 0061 030A
 
We will also provide an image of the letters I question.
