	Does anyone know of an OCR software package that can handle
typeset text scanned using the Hewlett-Packard Scanjet?  We're currently
using ReadRight, from OCR Systems, Inc.  Although ReadRight can handle
mono-spaced fonts fairly well, any proportionally space font with kerning
gives it a lot of trouble.  Any help and/or pointers will be greatly
appreciated.
