OCR-B Font

OCR-B font is both machine-readable and human-readable. Character shapes and dimensions are specified in ANSI X3.49-1975 (R1982) standard.

ANSI X3.49-1975 (R1982) has been approved as American National Standard for Optical Character Recognition by the Federal Government.

Experts of ISO Technical Committee are working to consolidate these two different standards.
