you would start with XML that places the upper left corner 0.17/2 inches higher and 0.10/2 inches further
to the left than the centerpoint, giving coordinates (35,120). To account for calibration and other factors,
you should then measure the actual character position on an issued card, and adjust the XML until the
character is embossed in the specified location.
Figure 2-3 - FontID1 Layout Measurements to XML Example
Figure 2-4 shows a second design where the position of the first character in the name string is specified
by its top boundary and horizontal center at a position that translates to (30,144). FontID2 has a nominal
character height of 0.126 inches and a nominal character width of 0.087 inches, so you would start with
XML that places the upper left corner 0.087/2 inches further to the left than the layout point, giving
coordinates of (26, 144). Measure and adjust the XML as in the previous example.
