I'm trying to read/recognize text from e-mails within a client application (Java), which doesn't use Outlook, Lotus Notes etc. With the application modeler I can only work with the region mode (all the others can't recognize elements, JAB is installed and enabled). I created regions on every part it has to read and used to Font identifier to get the right font (it finds 2: Times New Roman 12 and Iskoola Pota 12). The e-mail is structured so the regions will stay in place (during the tests they haven't shifted).
I use a navigate stage to read the regions and store them in a collection. For the most part this works. If I take a look at the current value (after running the process), I see some data has been added to the field. The problem is that it only recognizes parts of the text. Some parts it doesn't. For instance:
Zeevonk turns into Zeevon.:.
2673BT turns into 2:73BT
To read/recognize the text I first used Times New Roman and second I tried Iskoola Pota. With the same result, parts are left out.
After this I also tried to find a font manually, but didn't find one. I changed back to Times New Roman and pressed 'Show characters'. There I noticed (for the region of Zeevonk) it didn't recognize all the characters (it missed the 'k' and some other parts combining characters like 'nk').
On this forum I read that you can add characters to the fonts, or can create an own font for this. I tested it for this example and it worked, all the added characters are recognized now.
However, I'm wondering how I will be sure that I get all characters or how I'm sure I can add all characters to an existing font? I don't know which ones are missing (might be a few, might be a lot). At the moment I only know the missing for this example (and a few others), but not for all the possible issues/examples.
I also saw lots of combined letters as missing font characters, how can I split these to get those characters? Some of the characters are only shown in a combined setting.
If someone knows a better/other way to read text from regions, you can also let me know.
