Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Printing barcode fonts in web client
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.

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the feedback!
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: *{{patron.card.barcode}}*

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.
Barcode: B{{patron.card.barcode}}D

In the desktop client it was possible to print receipts with scannable barcode
fonts. I've tried using basically the same string in the web client with the
CodabarLarge font installed, but no luck. String: "Barcode: {{patron.card.barcode}}"
Am I missing something, or is this not supported in the web client?
