I've had the same experience as Jamie--not only fonts but the print is often on a colored background that makes scanning difficult; the good thing is that there's usually not a lot of text. It takes more typing to describe the illustrations than to type in the text. And the stories are cute.

You may have to type in most or all of the text on the pages. Sometimes it is huge font in color that the scanner doesn't pick or up if it does, the OCR program doesn't accurately recognize it. I frequently have to do this for children's books.
