I've already spent more time on free FOP support this week than I wanted so I won't be taking a closer look just now. I hope you understand. If I were you I'd switch to Barcode4J for the barcodes.
Do you generate the PDF and the PCL from the same intermediate file? Please realize that these two renderers use diffferent font metrics sources which could explain the bad output in PCL if the AT file was generated mimicing the PDF renderer. SVG in PCL works fine in newer releases, BTW.
