Our fonts are based on national and international standards and are available in TrueType, PostScript, OpenType or PCL LaserJet Soft Fonts on a variety of operating systems including Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix. To print a barcode as a font, the data-to-encode must first be formatted with an Font Encoder, which will return a text string that, when combined with the barcode font, will create an accurate barcode.
