Fonts with "@" symbol
Problem:When using Windows applications such as MS Office or Crystal, IDAutomation's
Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode fonts may appear first in the
drop-down list with the "@" symbol prior to the font name. If this font
is selected, it will not work properly and will most likely create spaces,
horizontal lines or other unexpected errors in the barcodes as seen
in the example below:
Solution(s):
To solve the problem, choose the corresponding fonts without
the @ symbol in the font name as below:
These @fonts are found when using multiple character set fonts in
Windows 2000 and Windows XP and are there by design and only appear
in applications that support them. The reason for the @fonts are
for setting vertical Asian text to be rotated counterclockwise by 90
degrees. For more information about the @font, please visit:
