Hi, John Fauss

is this 'code -128' licensing required, if it is, can you mention a reliable source?

If you are referring to the code128.ttf TrueType font that my example application uses and helps you to download, this font was purportedly created by an individual several years ago. At the top of the font author's web site (http://grandzebu.net/informatique/codbar-en/codbar.htm) is the following statement: "Here, all is under GNU - GPL license , open source and completely free...". Please note the special exception in tiny print immediately following this statement on that web page regarding creating a document that imbeds the font(s). I'm a software developer, not a lawyer, so if you use this author's TrueType font to create GS1-128 or Code128 barcodes and you have licensing concerns, you'll have to make the determination regarding licensing and/or distribution.

Hi, Anto - 

Can you please elaborate on what you are wanting? The GS1-128 spec's are complex, particularly if you're going to be utilizing multiple Application ID's (AI's) within a single barcode.

For the past several months, I've been working in my spare time on an example application that illustrates how to generate 12 styles of barcodes (GS1-128 is one of these 12) using a particular collection of freeware TrueType fonts, along with a paper that helps explains the methodology. These are not yet ready for publication in CodeXchange. If you could provide some details as to what you are looking for, it will help me determine if what I have may help you.

Best regards, John

Hi Anto,



I have had good luck using barcode fonts from idautomation.com. The vendor provides database functions to do the data encoding for code 128. I use the fonts and functions in DataWindows. The sizing of the edit control can be an issue, but overall, it is easy to use.

Hi Anto,

I am still using the barcode fonts from IDAutomation for DataWindows, and it works well, but I mostly use the font for code 39. I am using Seagull Scientific's BarTender for labels and the scanned data from both IDAutomation and BarTender barcodes match up.
