If you search the internet hard enough, you may find a complete UPC-A TrueType Font that you may be able to use. Whether or not it is free is a differnet matter, however, if you can find it, it will usually be split into 2 or more sections. This is due to the way UPC-A barcodes are created. The bars look different for any given digit depending on what position that digit is in the code. A proper font will have sections for "left handed" and "right handed" digits and the start, middle, and end bars. If you want a scannable UPC, you will have to take these differences into account when you use the font.

The Uniform Code Council takes care of specifications for UPC and EAN codes and can be found at: http://www.uc-council.org
