Hi, I'm new here, helping with an installation run by someone else.
I believe in some cases FineReader XML output identifies the font used. I know it's good at identifying Italics, OK with identifying serifs, but I mean an idea (however rough) of the font used in the original text image. In one output format there's an attribute "ff" that I think can do this, but nearly always contains "Default Metrics Font".
Is there a way to get even broad font family identification? How do we enable it or get it to work best?

I've since found this question, though for the cloud version
https://forum.ocrsdk.com/thread/4675-font-detection-in-abbyy-finereader-engine-/
But I still would like to know why every font I scan gives ff="Default Metrics Font"!
Hello, Adrian!
To detect the font names, please tune the XMLExportParams object before export:
In case if the source document fonts are lost in your output file, please try also to use fonts embedding:
IPDFExportFeatures::FontEmbeddingMode = FEM_Embed.
If our recommendations do not help you, please, send your file to sdk_support@abbyy.com for additional testing.
Many thanks Helen
Sounds good. I won't be able to try this out for a while, but will report back when I have results.
