Security Font Features

Security Fonts are used to securely print 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 5 separate Security Fonts in 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.

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 fonts are created to be printed on high resolution ink-jet and laser printers 300 DPI or greater.

Installation instructions

Installation in  Windows:

Installing the fonts on Macintosh OS X:

  1. Drag or copy and paste the TrueType font file(s) ending in TTF to the Library/Fonts folder.
  2. To activate the fonts, restart the application - some applications may require you to restart the computer.
  3. The font should now be active in the font menu of your application.

To install the TrueType font on the Classic Macintosh (OS 7.1 - OS 9):

  1. Download and install Stuffit Expander on your Macintosh if you do not have an expander utility that can open ZIP files and decode MacBinary files.
  2. Open the ZIP distribution file that contains the fonts by dragging the ZIP file on the Stuffit Expander icon. The font files will be extracted from the ZIP distribution file and will appear in a subfolder of the folder you placed the ZIP file in. Open this subfolder to view the font files.  At this point, you may want to view the documentation supplied with the font files. To do so just drag the file "readme.html" to the Netscape or Internet Explorer icon.
  3. Now we must decode the files from MacBinary format. Drag the font files that you wish to use that end with "mtt" to the Stuffit Expander icon.
  4. Drag the decoded font files to the System - Fonts folder.
  5. Restart the application you wish to use the font with.
  6. The font will be active in the font menu of your application.
