Security Fonts are used to print secure text, names and currency amounts on highly secure documents, such as a bank check, in a manner that cannot be easily altered and may prevent forgery. This package includes five (5) separate Security Fonts in six (6) different font formats, both normal and descriptive, where the written characters appear below or embedded into the character. The fonts include both upper and lower case alpha characters, as well as numbers, symbols and multiple currency characters including the Dollar, Euro, Pound and Yen.

• Embedding Support - The embedding support of IDAutomation's Security Fonts enable embedding in special PDF document applications such as Adobe Writer, Distiller, PDF Lib and FOP TTF Reader. This level of embedding also supports the creation of OpenType and TrueDoc fonts for web pages.
• Multiple Formats Provided - After purchasing a license for this font, the customer will receive all versions in a single ZIP file. The manual is supplied in a file named "Readme.html." The following fonts are included:
  • TrueType security fonts are supplied in PC and Macintosh format. The TrueType TTF fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and all versions of Microsoft Windows, including Pocket PC. Macintosh formatted MTT TrueType fonts are also supplied for compatibility with Macintosh System 7.1 to 9.x.
  • OpenType OTF security fonts with PostScript outlines are provided. These are compatible with Windows®, Linux, Macintosh OS X and other systems supporting the OpenType format.
  • PostScript Type 1 security fonts are supplied in binary, ASCII and Macintosh versions.
  • Also included in this package are PCL laserjet soft fonts at 300 DPI.
  • The Developer License grants the right to convert IDAutomation security fonts to other formats as necessary including TrueDoc and OpenType.
  • For the most up-to-date installation procedures, please visit IDAutomation's Font Support Site.

Several font names are provided to support different print environments. The following fonts are provided in the package:

Font Name	Purpose
IDAutomationSec1B	Security font with black letters
IDAutomationSec1W	Security font with white letters
IDAutomationHSec1B	Security font with black letters and human readable characters below
IDAutomationHSec1W	Security font with white letters and human readable characters below
IDAutomationSecurityBlock	Security font with white letters inside black block and human readable characters embedded

• To help prevent forgery, IDAutomation recommends utilizing the start and stop characters with the security fonts. These characters will combine the ends of the lines together. The { } brackets are the "rounded" start and stop characters. The [ ] brackets are the "square" start and stop characters. For example, to securely print a name on a bank check with square ends, print [Jon_Doe] with IDAutomation's security fonts selected. (The IDAutomationSecurityBlock font does not require a start and stop character.) 
• The space character has been moved to the underscore "_" location because the space character (ASCII 32) simply prints a space.
• The following chart shows the ASCII locations for specific characters:

ASCII Location	Character	Description
128	€	Euro
162	¢	Cent
163	£	Sterling Pound
164	¤	Currency
165	¥	Yen

At certain point sizes, security fonts can seem distorted on the screen because the screen resolutions are low. Fonts are represented by the dots of the output device, whether it is screen pixels or the dots of a laser printer. IDAutomation security fonts are created for printing on high resolution ink-jet and laser printers 300 DPI or greater.

All orders include free, automatic registration for technical support and product upgrades for a period of 30 days. Support and upgrades may be provided beyond 30 days if the Priority Support and Upgrade Subscription is purchased when making the order.
