I hope this is the right news group to ask but if not I'm sure someone will
correct me.
I have a .NET application that uses 3 different 3 of 9 TrueType fonts. If I
have a newly installed OS (2000 or XP) and print the document containing a
barcode, the barcode is printed with the wrong font. We had a machine that
did print correctly and so we started experimenting to see what produced the
correct rendering when printed. It turns out that installing Microsoft
Office (2000) corrects the problem. We've verified this by installing Office
on freshly installed machines half a dozen times (literaly) each time with
the sames results.
Order of installation:
1) OS (2000 Pro/Server or XP Pro)
2) .NET 1.1
3) Our application
4) Office
Any idea what we may be missing so that we don't have to install Office?
Thanks,
Rick

Could it be that Microsoft Office installed a different version of the font?
When you install Office, it installs some extra fonts by default. Perhaps
your version of the font is incompatible with your printer, but the Office
version works. Just a theory.

Robert,
No, the font is Free3of9 plus a couple other 3of9 barcode fonts. They don't
exist in the Office products.

Hello Rick,
Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the Barcode will not be printed properly until you install Office 2000.
Please correct me if there is any misunderstandin g. I'd like to share the
following information with you:
Does the problem occur if you display Barcode a Form before printing?
Generally speaking, the problem may be caused by the Barcode font or the
printer driver. Please compare them on the system before installing Office
with those with Office installed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
HuangTM
