There doesn't seem to be an apropriate forum to post this question in so I've fallen back on General Developer as a last resort. Mods, if there's somewhere else I should have put this then please move it, thanks.
I'm trying to find a 3 of 9 barcode font that will work properly in word.
We've used "Free 3 of 9" quite extensively on labels which we print via Crystal Reports and it works fine. However, we now want to start print barcodes on our outgoing letters which are produced via a word mail merge. Unfortunately the character spacing in word seems to mess up the trailing asterisk (it loses some of it's lines) so the barcode scanner won't recognise it as a bar code. It's pretty wierd, if you look at the displayed veriosn in the character spacing dialog it's correct but it's wrong in the actual document.
I have managed to find a font by ID Automation that works fine so I know it's technically possible but it's not free for an organisation of our size. At about $1500 it's a bit too pricey for us to justify (geddit... font... justify... OK, never mind).
Does anyone here know of a free (or reasonably priced) 3 of 9 font that works correctly in word?
Thanks.
