E13B character design

All of the E13B characters are designed on a 7 by 9 matrix of
0.013 inch/0.33 mm squares (see figure 4-5.). The minimum
character width is four squares (or 0.052 inch/1.3 mm) for the
numbers 1 and 2. The maximum width is 0.091 inch/2.3 mm for
the number 8, 0, and four special symbols. All characters except
the On-Us and Dash symbols have a height of 0.117 inch/3 mm.
This does not correspond to an exact point size usually specified
for fonts, but is between 8 and 9 points.
The height of the On-Us symbol is 0.091inch/2.3 mm, and the
dash is 0.052 inch/1.3 mm. Both heights are multiples of the
basic 0.013 inch/0.33 mm unit.

Figure 4-3. E13B character matrix design
The MICR line contains up to 65 character positions. These
positions are numbered and grouped into five fields, which are
read from right to left.
For characters 0, 8, and symbols
For characters 4, 6, 9
For characters 3, 5, 7
For characters 1, 2
This is a 7 by 9 matrix of
0.013 inch/0.33 mm squares
Note:
1. All characters are centered around a
horizontal center line.
2. All characters are right aligned.
3. Minimum height of right edges is
0.052 inch/1.3 mm.
