+ If you're using this font under Microsoft Windows, I can't help you.
2

3

4

5

17

18
+ I have included a test PostScript(tm) file called "test.ps" that you can
19
+ fire up in GhostScript to see if you have that set up correctly.
20
+
21
+ I have also included a file, "symbols.png" to show you which characters
22
+ you need to type to get the various MICR symbols.
23
+
24
+ Note that to function in the MICR readers, this font must be sized
25
+ exactly right. GnuMICR is designed to be used at 12 point size.
26

7
+ This font is released under the GNU General Public License ("GPL")
8
+ (see the file COPYING for details).
9

10
+ Important details to note about the license:
11
+
12
+ 1) This font comes with NO WARRANTY. I am not responsible for any
13
+ damages or expenses resulting from its use.
14
+
15
+ 2) This font may only be distributed with the license and the source code
16
+ to the font intact. It's not exactly clear to me how the GNU GPL applies to
17
+ fonts, but in my eyes, the font file "GnuMICR.raw" is the "source code" to
18
+ this font, and the files "GnuMICR.pfa" and "GnuMICR.pfb" are the compiled
19
+ versions. if you redistribute the "compiled" version, you must also
20
+ distribute, or offer to distribute, the "source" version (see COPYING).
21
+
22
+ Also, it is my wish that this font not be distributed in such a way
23
+ that it is built into a proprietary piece of software. I'll leave
24
+ the legal wrangling to the lawyers, but in my opinion, if you
25
+ write, say, a non-GPL'd check printing application for Windows,
26
+ you should not hard-code or embed this font into your application.
27
+ I feel that this would be the font-equivalent of linking libraries.
28
+ If you wish to distribute this font with your app, that's fine,
29
+ but I feel that it should be distributed alongside the application,
30
+ with all copyright & license info intact, per the terms of the GPL.
31
+
32
+ I have spent MANY hours on this font. Please respect my work, and
33
+ follow my wishes regarding licensing of this particular font.

+

+ --------------------------
40
+
41
+ Ok, with that out of the way...
42
+
43
+ A while ago, I set out to be able to print my own checks under Linux. The
44
+ first requirement was that I find a MICR font (those funky numbers and
45
+ symbols at the bottom of your check) that could be freely
46
+ distributed with the application. I quickly found that such a thing didn't
47
+ exist, so I set out to make my own. This font is the result.
48
+
49
+ I coded this font by hand, without the aid of any GUI font application.
50
+ My goal was to be as accurate as possible, with complete control over
51
+ the resulting font. I found dimensions and other specs for the font
52
+ and their use at http://www.cdnpay.ca/eng/rules/006.ENG.htm
53
+ This seems to be mostly geared towards Canadian standards, but the MICR
54
+ font is an ISO standard, and the glyph dimensions should be the same
55
+ as are used in the United States.
56
+
57
+ My sole source for information for this font was the URL above. This font
58
+ is NOT a modified version of any existing MICR font.
59
+
60
+ The "source code" to this font is the file "GnuMICR.raw" This file
61
+ may be converted into an actual Type 1 (.pfa or .pfb) font with
62
+ the "t1utils" package available
63
+ at http://www.lcdf.org/~eddietwo/type/#t1utils
64
+
65
+ I have not had this font tested by any bank. You should get best results
66
+ with a 600dpi PostScript(tm) printer, probably worse results with a 300
67
+ dpi laserjet printer via GhostScript. The hinting on the font is likely
68
+ not perfect, so rendering at lower DPI may introduce some errors.
69
+
70
+ I have had some very good reports of people using this font for
71
+ commercial printing, however.
72
+
73
+ I'm not a PostScript(tm) expert by any means. If anyone who is reading
74
+ this document _is_ and would like to offer suggestions or patches for the
75
+ font or its associated .afm file, please feel free to do so.
76
+
77
+ Also, if you have access to the tools needed to really test the font,
78
+ and you feel like doing that, I would really like to hear from you.
79
+ I'd like to make this the best MICR font available. I think it's
80
+ well on its way - see "comparison.png" for an overlay of GnuMICR
81
+ vs. a sample from a commercial font. Note the strange arcs in some
82
+ regions of the commercial font.
83
+
84
+ The TTF font provided in this package was converted by a third
85
+ party using Windows NT. As such, I have very little confidence
86
+ in the quality of the TTF font. If you want the result of my hard
87
+ work on dimensional accuracy, use the postscript font.
88
+
89
+ See the file INSTALL for help installing this font.

1
+ There are still some things left to do on this font:
2
+
3
+ 1) Get it inspected by a bank or other authority. See if it works! :-)
4
+
5
+ 2) Implement stem hint replacement on some of the glyphs such as
6
+ "3" and "8" and the symbols - I wasn't sure how to do this.
7

8
+ 3) The arcs on the "7" may not be quite right... close enough though, I think.
