Given a non-empty finite subset A of the natural numbers, let EA denote the set of irrationals x∈[0,1] whose continued fraction digits lie in A. In general, EA is a Cantor set whose Hausdorff dimension dim(EA) is between 0 and 1. It is shown that the set intersects [0,1/2] densely. We then describe a method for accurately computing dimensions dim(EA), and employ it to investigate numerically the way in which intersects [1/2,1]. These computations tend to support the conjecture, first formulated independently by Hensley, and by Mauldin & Urbanski, that is dense in [0,1]. In the important special case A={1,2}, we use our computational method to give an accurate approximation of dim(E{1,2}), improving on the one given in [18].
