*insert standard disclaimer about how the check printing needs to be
re-written*

The glade file, print.glade, just needs an extra label in the menu.
The c file just needs (again) an extra label in the string-array, to
map from the menu label to the scheme label.

And then, of course, you need your generic scheme.

I see..  :(

The PS is generated each time through.  So long as you only make the
font-code run for your particular check-format it wont interfere with
anyone else.  You can test this by printing to a file and running
ghostscript (gs) on the output file to see.  Works much better than
wasting paper (or checks).
