Glad you got it to work.
The * is another commonly used Start/stop character. Glad you got it to work. I use Codabar Medium for most things, and then also use IDAutomationHC39M Free Version for some things. Finding the font that your scanners are programmed to use is usually the hard part.

As it happens, I think my computer/version of Evergreen (3.0.13)/Chrome/something else seems to be VERY PICKY about the barcode font. For what it's worth, I ended up using "Free 3 of 9 Extended" (I tried three other barcode fonts to no avail...) and increasing the font size. My final, working result is: <div style= "font-family:'Free 3 of 9 Extended'; font-size: 200%">*{{patron.card.barcode}}*</div> Lindsay Stratton Library Automation Services Manager Pioneer Library System 2557 State Rte 21 Canandaigua, NY 14424 _____ From: "Lynn Floyd" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: "Evergreen Discussion Group" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, January 8, 2019 5:08:06 PM Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Printing barcode fonts in web client The problem with the code as you have it written, the word “Barcode:” would also be in the Codabar font. Also, most barcodes have to have a start and stop digit. In the example below you will see the “B” and “D”. This tells the scanner the start and stop of the barcode. I have tried this on my computer with a different barcode font, and it works great. But, remember the barcode font needs to be loaded on each computer that will use this receipt.

I've tried using basically the same string in the web client with the CodabarLarge font installed, but no luck. String: "<div style= "font-family: 'CodabarLarge';">Barcode: {{patron.card.barcode}}</div>" Am I missing something, or is this not supported in the web client?
