Uhm, you didn't really look hard enough. Searching for "barcode ean8" in SourceForge's project search delivers Barbecue in 7th position, my Barcode4J in 10th position and even a few other Java implementations further down. I recommend Barcode4J (who guessed?) because it integrates nicely with FOP. There you can specify the bar widths just the way you want. http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ > Actually we have one more application which generates barcodes using crystal > reports > which uses WASPUPCMC barcode font , i think this font also belongs to EAN8 > symbology. > When we generate the barcode using this font in crystal reports , Even at > font size 42 > the height of the barcode fits in the Label(Where i intend to print the > barcode). > > I managed to get the TTF file and created the font metrics using > TTFReader , but this is not working as it works in crystal reports. > > Currently In my application we are using UPCEAN8 font given by IDAutomation > > > We use the parity logic given by IDAutomation to transform the given > number and render the font in PDF file using fo:block > > Basically i want to display half height fonts as i have limited space. > > Any ideas How to achieve the same using FOP. Either use Barcode4J or paint the barcode using SVG where you can squeeze the font all you want.
