Versacheck 2000 is an unsupported program, but it installed like a dream and works faster than it ever did in Win98, huzzah! BUT when I print, either to a printer on my small network or the CUPS printer, no joy with the MICR font which is used for bank encoding. It LOOKS fine on the Versacheck screen. I copied the font into the c: drive for my Versacheck bottle. I copied it into my Mac's system and my Mac user fonts also, where it prints fine from Mac applications. I have re-installed Versacheck several times, in a Win98 bottle (Win98 is where I use it presently on an aging PC), even tried a winxp bottle; have rebooted, restarted the printers, etc all with same result: MICR font looks fine on the Crossover Versacheck screen but program won't print that MICR font to a PDF file or a physical printer. Black boxes where the MICR code should be, although the rest of the info on the checks print beautifully. This is driving me batty! I am soooooooo close to being able to use this program on my Mac!

Have you tried installing and using the CUPS-PDF system to get the print job out of Crossover and then print it from a native Mac app? http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/PrintFromCrossover

Yes, thanks, when I said the CUPS printer wouldn't work, that's what I meant, the one I installed for Crossover in order to print to a PDF file. I installed it per the suggestion I read on another thread. Versacheck won't even print the font to that; the PDF comes out just like what rolls out of the printer, a black bar where the MICR font should be. The rest of the check prints beautifully, and MICR looks fine on screen in VersaCheck inside the Crossover bottle. The program did not put the font into c:/windows/fonts so I copied it over there from the one installed in VersaCheck's own files. I also copied the font into my Mac user's font files and it prints fine directly from the Mac, although the font installed by VersaCheck is of course a Windows TTF font. Still scratching head over this! It really seems it should work since everything else was a dream to set up, and Versacheck runs really nicely otherwise.

Guess I have to give up. I'm within days of the end of my trial period and still can't figure out a simple thing like how to get one TT font to work. Everything else worked great. It seems like such a perfect application for someone like me who isn't using enough of my old Windows apps to bother with boot camp or other solutions. The idea is wonderful and in general it seems to work well. Sorry I can't benefit from it!
