Embedding TrueType fonts in Word
If a Word document is created with a
barcode font and the
end user does not have the font installed on their computer, the resulting
barcode document only displays the encoded data instead of the intended
barcode font.
This issue can usually be solved by embedding the TrueType Fonts
into the document. After a document has been created with the barcode
fonts, it is then ready to embed those fonts by saving the document
using the instructions for Word 2007 and greater
or Word 2000 and Word 2003.
Solution for
Word 2007 and up:
- Choose the Office button on the upper left corner and click
on Word Options.
- Choose the Save option and check the box to embed fonts in the
file. Do not choose the option to embed only characters used as
this can cause problems with barcode fonts.
NOTE: Embedded fonts require a
Developer License for the font.
- Go to the Tools menu.
- Then select Options.
- Select the Save tab.
- Check the box that says Embed true type fonts.
- Click OK.
Make sure the box for Embed characters in use only
does NOT have a check. Anyone who opens this file should be able to
see the barcode embedded in the document.
NOTE: Embedded fonts require a
Developer License for the font.
