Title: Does anyone have any barcode fonts?
Post by: annguyen1981 on May 20, 2006, 07:31:03 PM
I'm looking for a barcode font or barcode maker that'll make UPC-A fonts...

Notice how there's one single number starting out, then five numbers, then another five, and a single again to top it off.

Help?

Um..ok  :icon_razz: I don't have any experience with barcoding, but I did program the ID badge system at work using magnetic stripe encoding. That was as interesting as watching ice cream melt, btw.

What are you trying to achieve? Did you google "download barcode font" or something like that? But typically the software program you are using should have the barcode font built into it. Like I said, I know nothing about barcodes but it seems like it should be just a matter of applying the font into the right field. In my magnetic stripe program, there were three "tracks" I could take advantage of and I just had to choose the field, the track, and the font.  :thumb:

I dunno what you are trying to do?  :dunno_white:

There are 4 pages of free fonts and software to do what you want.

I think I love you...  er...  Yeah...

I'm currently downloading one of the FREE software programs on that list.  hopefully it'll work.

If you work in retail where ink cartridges are sold, you know that stupid ass low-life people always find ways to steal them...  This cuts down on profit, and eventually takes away from raises and bonuses...

I'm designing a system for a local supermarket chain so that this will be reduced dramatically.  If the whole chain likes my work...
CA-CHING!!! :)
