JDE MICR E13-B font


I was developing few cheque/check(BoA and BoM) printing applications in JDE.I came across the gnuMICR font from the website : http://sandeen.net/GnuMICR/ and used it for writing the micr line in the check/cheque.
The micr line passed both the bank tests.

Incase you are developing any MICR E-13B based check reports in JDE, see if this font meets your requirement.
Speak to the developer/author of the Font : Mr Eric Sandeen.(Email id is available in the web page) for the TnC of usage and more information

Note: This font may or maynot solve your purpose.Just give a try
