Jeremias, That gets me a little further.
Fop now says SEVERE: file:///c:/temp/lala.fo:9:42: No conversion defined 40; property:'height' A PDF is however created and when I open it, Acrobat Reader complains PDF with "The font 'IDAutomationC39S' contains bad /Flags." A document is however opened which does contain "a" barcode. Note that I am not necessarily in a big hurry, so if you say "I'm sure it can be made to work with some coding but right now" is there anything I can do to actually make it work?
