English translation:font determination method/means
Explanation:
I think Rie is correct, but I like to be succinct if the situation calls for it. I don't know your exact situation, so this is just my suggestion. I also think that the words "type" and "used" are usually implied in English and are not necessary in cases like this.

a method to determine the font type used


Explanation:
字種 = 文字種, that's letter type according to Eijiro, but I suspect this might be font type here...

Oh, I just read other posts of yours, Roger. Are these 文字 handwriten and does this patent discuss how to recognize them??? In that case, 文字種　might be letter/character type. Hard to tell....
