Re: Issue with CF Barcode39
I've never tried to use a special font (i.e. not standard windows) with ColdFusion - do you have to register the font with CF in teh administrator or something like that? Does it print out the number in times roman or helvetica or something?

Re: Issue with CF Barcode39
I downloaded the font but my macbook is not picking it up. It recognizes other fonts that I have installed but not this one. Weird.

Re: Issue with CF Barcode39
You might need to download a 3of9 truetype font and print the number you want in that font. it's just like printing 44557841 in TimesRoman, except you're printing it in Barcode3of9. That's the way we've been printing barcodes for decades.

Re: Issue with CF Barcode39
I did a CFDUMP on the varabies.voucher and copied and pasted it into an HTML document and the barcode shows up. What's interesting is that it won't work in a PDF, and I think that I know why. The dump code consists of all of the span tags that make up the barcode, so it's not actually an image, it's HTML formatting, but when creating the PDF it's not working right. Attached is a small sample: and so on and so on until the barcode is created. So it seems that making a PDF, it does not know what to do with the SPAN tag. This requires some more digging Bruce On Sep 20, 2012, at 12:25 PM, Chad Gray wrote: > > This is a guess, because I have no experience with the custom tag to make the > barcode image, but you may want to save the content out at a variable first. > Then put it in the tag.

RE: Issue with CF Barcode39
This is a guess, because I have no experience with the custom tag to make the barcode image, but you may want to save the content out at a variable first. Then put it in the tag. This has always worked best for me. 4840 PERL EAST CIRCLE, 210 W. | BOULDER | CO | 80301 etc #variables.
