Hi!
It looks to me like the issue is there's no barcode font available directly
in Evergreen. You'd need to have a font uploaded to call in the style
parameter, like "font-family:url('fonts/barcode-font-example.ttf')". The
guide you're using is out of date and was for the old software client
version of Evergreen where it could call on fonts installed on the
workstation.
Hope that helps,
