1. Introduction

This document is the release notes for Morovia MICR/E-13B Fontware 4.0.0. The following sections describe the release in detail and provide late-breaking updates or other information that supplements the main documentation.

Morovia MICR/E-13B Fontware consists of true type and Postscript fonts to print MICR E-13B symbols on laser printers.

This package includes the following contents:

  • True type font file of precise design - MRV MICR.

  • Additional 11 fonts for printer calibration.

  • The user manual, which you are reading on.

  • The PCL and Postscript (PFA and PFB) version.

Note

We recommend the use of true type version wherever applicable.

For use on Unix systems, you will likely to pick up either PFA or PFB version. Due to our resource constraints, we are unable to provide support for working with Unix systems. Some of our customers have successfully implemented check printing solutions on Unix with our fonts.

2. What's New?

The fonts included in this package are re-designed, with the consideration of limitations imposed by laser printers. The result is more accurate and predictable, and should pass most strict testing requirement on standard printing environment.

Note that font names are changed in this version. File names are now in lower case. mrvMiCRNoMRV.ttf becomes micr.ttf, and mrvMiCRWithMRV.ttf becomes mrvmicr.ttf.
