FAQ
What is NotPerfect-Sans?
NotPerfectSans is a heavily modified version of Open-Sans created by Ducky Software for use in children's OCR and typing products. NotPerfect-Sans is well... not perfect and thats the point. When working with OCR we felt we needed to create a bubbly font with personality, feelings and depth. Not a robotic and consistent one
How does NotPerfect-Sans work?
NotPerfect-Sans is pre-configured for you in a TrueType file format (.tff), simply install it
Do you use NotPerfect-Sans for typing?
No, do not use NotPerfect-Sans for typing, NotPerfect-Sans is not intended to be used in this way and will impede document formatting. NotPerfect-Sans is a free project meant to be used in children's writing and OCR projects.
Why are some characters missing.
Some characters such as accented characters or symbols are not included as they are not needed in OCR products and therefore were removed to save space on systems.
Right now characters provided are just the basics (A-Z, 1-9) we are looking to expand our offerings
