Finding the font of a scanned text Solved

Question

Hello,

Recently, I decided to get into photo editing using the software THE GIMP.

Everything is going well except for one point: the font of the text.
Indeed, I have a scanned document and I would like to find the font of it.

I naturally searched online and thought I had found the solution with a character recognition software. I tried using SimpleOCR (https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/bureautique/20177-simpleocr/), one of the few free software of this type.
But in fact, it changes the font of the scanned document to a well-known font (Times New Roman), which is not of interest to me at all.

I then spent an hour with GIMP testing each font and none matched (some come close but it's important to have the exact same font for the document I'm modifying).

I would therefore like to know if it would be possible, by any means, to identify the font of this document.

Thank you.

The problem is that if I post the photo, no one will respond to me because the nature of the document is a bit problematic :D

SkillzZ69 · Answer

I cut off a part of the document, but you can easily guess what it is :D

and you would like to change the text then?

SkillzZ69 · Answer

Yes.

A similar font would have sufficed if the situation did not demand otherwise.

But that's the opposite case, so I need to change the text to the same font as the old one.

(But, well, if it's really impossible, I'll make do with what I have ...)

Here it is!

A big thank you to Kassrane (and to everyone else by the way): Abby Fine Reader detected the font for me :D

In response to Artanis and Krazykat, please note that this report does not concern me and that academically, I have no difficulties.
It's a report from a guy in my class, I kindly agreed to help him with it to avoid potential trouble and his inability to leave his house during the summer holidays :)

A little compassion doesn't hurt.
