How to use the least path from the A* algorithm in segmenting the line upto character

[Matt-arch]

Hello, I am Metasebiya Mulugeta, I been trying to solve this problem by own using my little experience in computer vision and underdeveloped programming skills, when I got to see your blog it helps me a lot I am really grateful for your kind contribution. My question is as follows, I applied your implementation in segmenting Amharic letters from a given scanned document, the astar algorithm returned the least cost path and detects the blocking regions as well but while extracting the lines from the image it turns out the blocking regions are cut out from, here is the what i tried the entire code is your implementation, and could you show me how proceed towards segmenting the characters from the words, I tried by taking the minimum white space but I failed t do it?
here is the sample Amharic letter
