Hello,
I'm using itext to generate a PDF document with a BarCode128. The problem is
that the start and stop characters (characters 135 and 138) are not printed.
It works fine if I do it using iTextSharp.text.pdf.Barcode128 instead of
PdfContentByte using the true type font.
This is the code:

    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(780, 525);
        Document document = new Document(pageSize);

        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document,
File.OpenWrite("Test.pdf"));
        document.Open();

        PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
        BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(@"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\Bcode128.ttf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
        cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 50);
        cb.BeginText();
        cb.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "‡BARCODE7Š", 200, 350,
0f); //Character ‡ and Š don't appear in the generated PDF document

        cb.EndText();

        document.Close();
    }

I tried with the unicode numbers (I tried with this string:
"\u01c2BARCODE7\u0160") but it is the same.
Also, bf.CharExists('‡') returns false, and the same for bf.CharExists('Š').
I guess it is related with the problem.

How can I get those start and stop characters printed using PdfContentByte?.

Thanks in advance.
Claudia.
