Accessing TROY
Fonts Using Non-
Windows
Applications
Verifying
Windows Font
Support
If you are using a non-Windows application to print MICR documents, the escape sequence for each font must be
programmed into the application in order to “call” each of the selected fonts. The <Esc> character is ASCII
character number 27 (hexadecimal number 1B). Refer to Section 7 –
Using TROY Fonts
for the specific escape
sequence (displayed above each character map) used to call each of the TROY fonts.
To verify the TROY Windows font support files were properly installed on your system, demonstration
documents are provided through the TROY Printer Utility in Windows that can be printed out to visually identify
all security and/or barcode fonts downloaded to the TROY Security Printing Solution. Make sure your TROY
printer is properly setup, powered ON, and is online before printing the Windows Security Font or Windows
Barcode Font Demonstration page(s).

4.
Compare the actual TROY security fonts (the actual fonts generated by your printing system) shown in the
right-hand column with the facsimile image of these fonts printed in the center column (a digitized image
designed to look exactly like the actual fonts generated by your system – see example on the next page).
If the support files were properly installed, the actual TROY security and/or barcode fonts displayed in the
right-hand column should appear identical to the facsimile fonts displayed in the center column. If the actual
fonts do not match the facsimile fonts printed on the demonstration document (fonts not printed correctly or
fonts missing on the printout), review the installation steps in this document. If further assistance is required,
contact TROY Technical Support.
