Using TROY Fonts

MICR Font Guidelines

The TROY E-13B and CMC-7 MICR fonts were developed using strict specifications designed specifically for high-speed magnetic-read processing. To maintain these strict specifications, the TROY MICR fonts were designed as non-scalable fonts (fixed fonts) that are fixed in pitch (spacing) and point size (height). Because Windows TrueTypetechnology allows fonts to be scalable by changing the point size, it is imperative to maintain the 12-point size of the MICR fonts installed in Windows. Selecting a point size other than 12-point for the MICR font in Windows will not visibly enlarge or reduce the size of the characters; however, the horizontal spacing will be affected. Any alteration to the spacing of the characters will result in incorrect placement of the MICR characters in the MICR line at the bottom of your checks, causing your financial documents to be rejected by the bank.

The Convenience Amount fonts were also designed as non-scalable fonts, but can be changed (increased or decreased) from the default point size to meet your check printing requirements. Changing the point size of a fixed font in Windows will only affect the horizontal spacing of the characters and not affect the vertical size of the characters. The TROY Enhanced Convenience Amount font and TROY Security font were designed as scalable fonts that can be changed (increased or decreased) from the default point size to meet your check printing requirements.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you verify the MICR line at the bottom of your printed checks using the TROY MICR Document Template (p/n 54-17373-001) to verify the positioning of each character. Refer to the TROY MICR Basics Handbook for details (provided in PDF format on the TROY Font Card Kit CD.
