Installing the MICR font for printing checks in the USA.
When exporting the XML data from IFS to my pc and then open the check in Report Designer, the font seems OK, so issue is with the installation in the IFS database. The font is in the attached zipped file (GnuMICR.ttf). I have used the option to drag the font onto the Report Fonts page in IFS and the GnuMICR font appears in the list as described, but it is not applied when printing a check.
We got underneath answer when we asked IFS:
“The actual problem in the font is that it doesn't have a Unicode cmap table present. That is the reason for the IndexOutOfBoundsException. "Unicode cmap not present"
We use the third part library file to generate the xml file out of TTF/TTC files and to import font files.
FOP works with Unicode data and therefore requires True Type Fonts to have a table that maps Unicode code points to the glyphs in the Font. This font you have provided does not have such a Unicode mapping table, often referred to as a CMAP table. We are afraid to inform that this font is not valid to use in the IFS framework. Therefore please find some other alternative fonts to cater your requirement.”
We requested IFS to advise what supplier/font brand does work with IFS Report Designer……
