The fonts evaluated are: (1) Farrington 12L2/12F2 (including Selfchek numerals), 36 characters; (2) Farrington Selfchek numerals, 10 characters; (3) Pica numerals, 10 characters; and (4) ASA TGIC numerals, 10 characters. It is the purpose of this investigation to evaluate and compare these fonts to determine the suitability of each for machine reading by optical scanning. (Author)
