>>>Hi Nancy, actually I don't know who our barcode vendor is. My employer ESC, had code 3 of 9 before I started working with them. They have had that font for many years. I even asked a co-worker who has worked for the company quite a few years and he said we have always used that font for barcodes. I do know we partner with symbol for barcode scanners.

Yes, that one is an option. However, for some of us, it's not quite as freely usuable (according to the license) and redistributable as the link I posted. I'm trying to contact the author to find out some details but haven't heard from him and not even sure his email is still good.
