This download contains a sample of the CMC7 font used to
print the magnetic encoding on bank checks. Although the CMC7 fonts are
scaleable, you should use the font size of 12 to print the CMC7 fonts.
Choosing the font size of 12 sets the CMC7 font height to 3.2 mm, which is
the standard for France and most other countries. If your requirements are
different, the CMC7 font size can be adjusted accordingly. This
sample CMC7 font should only be used for testing and evaluation purposes
because it does not contain the number "5". If you order
the CMC7 font license, you will receive fully functional TrueType,
OpenType and
PostScript versions of the CMC7 fonts.
To order the fully functional CMC7
font containing all numbers, please visit the
CMC7
website or click here to order now.

Advantage Package Features
|
The CMC-7 font is a special MICR barcode font that is used in Mexico,
France, Spain, Brazil and most Spanish speaking countries to
print characters for magnetic recognition and optical
character recognition systems. The CMC-7 MICR font
contains ten specially designed numeric characters 0
through 9, and five special symbols. The MICR E13B font is a special font that
is used in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, UK, and a few other
countries. If there is an interest in this font, visit the MICR
E13B Font site.
Details of the Font Advantage Package are as
follows:
- Created Directly From ISO Specifications - The MICR CMC7 fonts
were created according to ISO (International Standards Organization)
specifications for MICR printing.
- Ease-of-Use - Although the CMC-7 fonts are scaleable, use the 12
point font size to print the CMC-7 fonts. Choosing the 12 point font size sets

countries. The CMC-7 font size can be adjusted accordingly to meet additional
requirements.

package, three narrow versions are also provided to support printers that

font that is narrow by 10%.
