I just got the "Free 3 of 9 Extended" font to work. Here is what I did:
I first added the font in the control panel "fonts" app of the server. I then added the font in the CF administrator. I noticed that the font face and font family were both isted as "new". I rebooted and when it came up they were both still listed as "new". I opened up the TTF file to see what the name was actually listed as. I then used that name in my css like so "font-family:Free 3 of 9 Extended;". It worked. I can now print barcode labels using flashpaper. PDF still wants to make everything portrait for some reason, even though I specify landscape. Anyway hope this helps. > I had trouble doing the exact same thing a few weeks ago.
