Evaluation Version
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.

- Embedding Support - The embedding support of IDAutomation's Security fonts enables embedding in special PDF
document applications such as Adobe Writer, Distiller, PDF Lib and FOP TTF
Reader. This level of embedding also supports 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 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.

- PostScript Type 1 fonts are supplied in binary, ASCII and Macintosh
versions.
- Also included in this package are PCL laserjet soft fonts at 300 DPI.

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 secure 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 font 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:

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.

The following is a summary of licensing and pricing, refer to section 1 of the
License Agreement for
full details about the license.
- The
Small Company Developer License costs $235.
With this license, the rights of the Developer License are granted to all organizations with gross annual revenue or funding of less than 2 million U.S. Dollars (or equivalent amount in a foreign currency) with a signed Small Company Agreement.
- The
Developer License
costs $470 and allows one developer royalty-free
distribution of the Software internally (in the same organization) and
externally (outside the organization bundled with an application) up to 10,000
user licenses, provided you adhere to the
Developer License
distribution terms.
- The
5 Developer License
costs $940 and grants the rights of the Developer
License for up to 5 developers and 20,000 user licenses.
- The
Unlimited Developer License
costs $1390 and grants the rights of the Developer
License for an unlimited number of developers and an unlimited number of user
licenses.
- The
Single User License costs $79 and allows use of the Software for one effective user in your
organization. The number of effective users for software licensing is
determined by the method defined below that returns the greatest number.
However, if the Software is used in connection with a high speed printer that
prints over 55 pages per minute or a system (including all hardware, printer
and software) having a cost totaling over 50,000 USD or equivalent in a
foreign currency, a Developer License is required.

their CPU.

the Software. For example, 3 users printing to 5 printers would require 5
licenses.
