>>A client running a system written in FoxPro DOS 2.5 (his upgrade to VFP 5/6 is scheduled this year) needs to be able to write checks from Payables on blank check stock. This, of course, requires writing the MICR line at the bottom of the check. Does anyone know where I can go to get the proper font for that line?

>If my memory of such things still works, it's not just the fonts. You also need special toner for the printer. The MICR has some magnetic qualities. There are packages and printers out there that do this, but they are expensive. The toner is quite a bit more costly than the normal laser toner.

Another supplier of the font that I used in the past was BitStream... However, you need to check with the bank format requirements because from what I remember, there were 2 micr font sizes available. There is also specific alignment requirements and can't be printed just anyplace at the bottom.
