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 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.
