I too have used a similar method in producing bar codes. Unfortunately the font was not supplied to me so I had to find one that works. There are several versions of bar code formats so you may have to search for one that works. However, I would first look in the install directory for the reader software and see if there is one present there. Sometimes they will have it for use with generation. Otherwise you'll need find the one that works. Most systems will use an ISO standard barcode so this could be a good starting point for you search.
Hope this helps.
