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.

It seems the atypical fonts are a bigger problem for me right now, but no 
problem since I  am sighted as is Doug.

One thing I was going to mention to you is that board books may not actually 
"scan" well. 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.
