Install the fonts just like you would other fonts. (Control Panel - Fonts applet)
To use the font, note any special codes needed to use it, i.e. Code 39 requires and * to start and stop the bar code. So to code something on a report with code 39, let say product.
An expression like this would work well
"*"+alltrim(product)+"*" && alltrim to remove spaces to shorten barcode if they are not needed
Set the font of this to code39 and increase the size of the font so that it is scannable. I find 24 point is a good size for most fonts.
HTH,
