Well I have done a custom cheque format, but it was several years ago. Problem with cheque formatting expertise is very few of us need to use our new-found knowledge more than once and then we can gradually forget it.
And then I was without internet for a couple of weeks…
Anyhow, I’ll help some - but can’t recall everything.

Can’t help you there, but it doesn’t likely matter.

Don’t know. I considered using this for a logo - but we got cheques printed with the logo. Multiple users have access to GnuCash and the computer on which it runs, so I haven’t considered the signature idea a good one - although I saw that as a potential use when I read about it.

I think it’s points. Trick is that it is a right handed coordinate system. That is, the y axis increases as you go UP the page, rather than down.

Not aware of it.

I began with a file for one of the stock types for reference.
I don’t know that’s been much help..
