Okay, it looks like I can OCR the RTH Traditional list - a lot of editing is required as it is only right about 80% of the time, but it still beats zombie-typing.

I am only up to 180 at this point, but I have already come across 3 very strange cases:

68 直 zhi
69 置 shi
158 灰 hui

I think I am having problems with fonts, because 68 and 69 end up with "fishhooks" on the bottom when I work this in Excel, even though they appear to be okay on this forum.  In Excel, 158 looks like the Kanji ashes はい with a "cliff" (Kanji) rather than a "by your side" (Hanzi).

Does anyone have any idea if this is a font problem?!?  If so, what font should I be using for Hanzi?  If not, anyone has insight into what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question...

Looks like Simsun is rendered more accurately than MingLiu, MS Gothic, and MS MingCho.

510/1500 now.
