Forgive me if this newsgroup is not
the most appropriate, but does anyone
know where to get the following fonts?
Oker(?)A : Used in US banks.
Oker B : Used in Europe.
E13B : Used on magnetic cards.
Any type of X-windows or Sunview font
would be fine.
Thanks in advance,
Narayan Sriranga Raja.
PS: No, I'm not planning to counterfeit checks.
This is for Pattern Recognition. :-)nazgul@alphalpha.com (Kee Hinckley) (10/27/90)

OCR-A and OCR-B (Optical Character Recognition) are both available from Adobe in Postscript and Screen formats (where Screen==Mac and maybe PC's, I don't know). >E13B : Used on magnetic cards. No idea on this one. >PS: No, I'm not planning to counterfeit checks. Rumour has it that the toner in most laser printers is sufficiently magnetic to keep the check scanners happy, although I haven't had a chance to verify this. If this is the case then you can write your own checks (which is perfectly legal, after all, I buy mine from a computer-check company, the bank doesn't mind). However if they can't scan it some banks will charge extra, and they don't use optical scanners, that's why the magnetic ink. -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
