I am looking for a font, I believe it is intended primarily for the
eyes of optical character readers.  It is the font that is used to
print account number information on the bottom of personal checks.
The reason I want it is that I am toying with the idea of printing my
own checks.  I've pretty much got everything else nailed down.  I was
thinking of scanning a check at high resolution and building bitmaps
for each character.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Comments about any legalities concerning printing one's own checks that
I might not be aware of are also welcome.

					Thanks,
