It is a rather remarkable process, Gome...
Isn't it? What's so neat about it, of course, is that while protecting a site from spammers, you're actually helping preserve an "important" heritage.

arGee - it sounds remarkable but as you were describing it, I was
envisioning the mechanics of the process.
I think I have it. From original paper, to scanning technology, to digitizing technology, to some kind of 2D comparative coordinate font identifying software. Then mismatches to the software are indexed, catalogued and entered into the recaptcha database, then sent out for use and identification. Then returned through a set of qualifiers if identified to the database where the identified word is kicked out of the queue, unidentified words are recycled . . . excuse my use of layman's terms. I see the problem as well, the 2D comparative coordinate font identifying software would have a hard time with so many old and varied fonts.
