tesseract inconsistent...

[R B]

Hi,

I could use some help with tesseract v5.0.0-alpha.20200328(I've tried 4.1. too).  I'm getting the following unwanted behavior from tesseract:

• Unable to recognize asterisks
• Some characters recognized as lower case 
• Some characters are recognized incorrectly.

Here's my output of the attached image:

My command line is:    "tesseract 2.bmp 2.bmp -l eng --psm 6"

I've tried looking at the many configuration parameters and, well, I only have so much time in my life. :)

Thanks!
