12/17/2021, 3:48 AMHi all! Has anyone had success using MICR font for checks? I tried adding the ttf file to the file cabinet and following all the steps in SA49581 but it doesn't seem to be working. Any thoughts or suggestions as to why it may not be working?

12/17/2021, 6:48 PM@NS Admin do the free ones not work? Also, what did you have to do in the pdf to use the font?

12/17/2021, 6:52 PMDo you need to place the ttf file in any specific folder or does any folder work?

12/17/2021, 6:54 PMFYI - I do remember it being tricky to get the bank to approve the checks and took some tweaks on the font size. Make sure to build in extra time for that process and be patient...haha

12/17/2021, 7:04 PMSorry, one more question, can you only use one font on a PDF? Does everything have to be in the MICR font then or can I just have the account/routing number in MICR and everything else NotoSans, sans-serif

Printing your own MICR line is such a hassle to deal with in a whole bunch of ways.

12/20/2021, 4:12 PMYes, I agree with @RJMNS blob 100. Unfortunately for us some of our team members are way behind on industry best practices and this was one of those items they dug in on. I wouldn't do it again 🙂

12/22/2021, 12:36 AMYep got it! Thanks everyone for the help! Had to remove the default fonts to allow for multiple fonts which was my main issue.
In regards to why, unfortunately I'm just an implementation consultant and the client does not wish to change their current practices regarding this at this time.

12/22/2021, 4:31 PM@Dani I had the same thing with one of our clients, they wanted to use blank check stock instead of switching out different pre-printed checks, getting everything to line up just right was tedious but a good learning experience
