Readable barcodes cannot be created by simply applying the font,
as they require the data to first be encoded, and then combined with the
appropriate font to create a readable barcode. Self-checking fonts such as
Codabar and Code 39 only require an asterisk * before and after the
data-to-encode, while all other
barcode fonts require more advanced formatting to create a correct barcode
symbol.
IDAutomation offers several font encoder tools that allow for easy integration
of barcode fonts in a variety of applications and development environments. These tools may be used royalty-free if a license for one of IDAutomation's
barcode fonts has been purchased. In the case of one-off barcode generation,
consider the free
Online Barcode Font Encoder
which will return an encoded text string that can be pasted into your
application where the font can be applied to it. Please be aware that
IDAutomation Universal
Barcode Fonts use a different set of font tools, and these tools are not
compatible with that package.
