This software provides a free Code 39 Barcode Font that supports printing of letters, numbers and select symbols using the Code 3 of 9 symbology.
I recently tried out IDAutomation's Free Code 39 Barcode Font, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. One of the standout features is the font's ability to print letters, numbers, and some symbols using the Code 3 of 9 symbology. What's more, this barcode font is completely free to use for qualifying organizations.
The font file provided is TTF and digitally signed with TrueType outlines. This ensures that the font is fully functional and reliable. To generate a Code 39 barcode from this font, all you need to do is surround your data-to-encode with asterisks as the start and stop characters, like *153969*.
If you're using Microsoft Word, you'll need to change the start and stop characters to "!" instead of the asterisk. This is due to a formatting issue. So, your data-to-encode should be surrounded by "!" characters, i.e. !153969!.
One of the nifty features of this font is the ability to hide the asterisks from appearing in the human-readable below the barcode. You can do this by using parenthesis surrounding the data. For example, (12345).
All in all, IDAutomation's Free Code 39 Barcode Font is a great option for businesses and organizations looking to generate barcodes easily and efficiently.
