Paul,

I've just installed the new font, updated my cheque writer report, and things are working just perfectly now.

Thank you so much for getting this issue resolved; I really don't know how I would have managed it otherwise.

regards,

Rolf

Rolf - my apologies on my delayed response. I've now brought this to the attention of our team who should be able to get back to me on if this is something we can and will do. I'll post here as soon as I know more.

Valbon,

I haven't heard anything further on this, and am wondering if and when you might be installing this font on your server.

thanks,

Rolf

Hi Valbon,

The font we currently have installed can be found here: http://www.paratype.com/btstore/fonts/MICR.htm. However, if you would like to use the Adobe one, that would be just fine as well.

thanks,

Rolf

Hi Rolf,

I'll bring this request up with our team and respond back to this post. I did manage to find something available by Adobe (for sale) if you are interested.

Thanks.

** The following was sent in response to this post. **

Thanks for the quick reply on this. I checked out your links and the font is indeed being changed into Wingdings. In order to print cheques, the MICR font is an absolute requirement as it generates the account number encoding on the cheque. If you are prepared to install this on your server, I can email you the font and it should all work fine. Let me know your thoughts on this please.

Hi Rolf,

FYI – please see a post (click here) that provides more details when customizing fonts in the Method Report Designer. Thanks.

MICR font problem in Report Generator

I'm using the Report Designer to print cheques, and am having a problem with the MICR font used for the cheque encoding. It works fine in the designer, but when I generate the report in method, it uses some other font to create graphics in place of the MICR symbols in the PDF file. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

thanks,

Rolf
