Yep. What Shula just said.
As a proof on concept I downloaded and installed the Libre Barcode 39 font from
google fonts on my local machine. I added the following in the address
template above the first <div> to point to the local font, and then I changed
the font-family in your template from ‘Code-Codabar’ to ‘Libre Barcode39’. It
worked.
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: 'Libre Barcode39';
src: local('Libre Barcode 39 Regular');
}
</style>
For those following along. This is just a proof of concept. Jessica’s
template has the barcode wrapped in a B and D prefix and suffix. I don’t
recall off the top of my head if this is correct for code 39. I can experiment
more once I am back in the office.

Evergreen
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using is out of date and was for the old software client version of Evergreen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,

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone had success in scripting a receipt template so that a patron’s
library card number will print as a scannable barcode? My library used to be
able to do this for patrons who forgot to bring their physical card and needed
to use a computer. However, the receipt only prints the full number anymore For
privacy reasons, we don’t want to keep printing the card numbers.
I currently use the Patron Address print template and format it to say the
following below. The line highlighted in yellow is where we’d tell the code to
print the barcode, but it unfortunately does not work anymore. I did try
following this tutorial from the Evergreen Wikipage
(https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=scratchpad:barcode_font&s[]=barcode<https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=scratchpad:barcode_font&s%5b%5d=barcode>),
but had the same problem.
<!--
Template for printing a patron address. Fields include:
* first_given_name
* second_given_name
* family_name
* address.street1
* address.street2
* address.city
* address.state
* address.post_code

<br>
{{patron.first_given_name}}
{{patron.second_given_name}}
{{patron.family_name}}
<p>
<br>
Library Card Number: {{patron.card.barcode}}
<br>Barcode: <div style= "font-family: 'Code-Codabar'; font-size: 50px"
>B{{patron.card.barcode}}D</div>
<p>
<br>
New:_______ Temporary: _______<br>
New users can use the library computers and are allowed 1 item until they
receive cards in the mail.
<p>
<br>
<div>Today's Date: {{today | date:'M/d/yyyy'}}</div>
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
