To solve it, within qualifying work It took me more than one month and more than one hundred cups of tea to complete my bachelor’s degree.
Today let's look at the algorithm and solution results local task on creating a font in vector format in accordance with regulatory documentation for displaying character standards for correlation recognition. At the first stage, we will delve into the essence of the problem being solved.

As a result, work was carried out to optimize the font, which received the “2.0” attribute:

The font has all 12+1 characters
Upper and lower case characters are filled in and have the same style (prevents errors)
TrueType and PostScript versions
Unused characters do not have a style (analogous to “space”)

The principle of arrangement of letters and numbers on the number is used according to a certain standard, in which 3 letters and numbers are located. First there are two letters, then three numbers and one letter, on the right is the flag of the Russian Federation with the inscription RUS and code value of two or three numbers indicating that the vehicle belongs to a particular subject of the federation, that is, the place where it is registered. Compiling Car number code use only twelve letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, which have similar values in the Latin alphabet.

Exist special signs, which are installed on special vehicles. This includes the license plate of blue color with white letters on it.

Decoding matters here literal meaning on the license plate:

CD indicates that the car belongs to a person with the rank of ambassador or head of consulate;
D – the car simply belongs to the diplomatic mission;
T – respectively, means belonging to a representative office of a foreign trading company.
