it seems like on some versions of 4D (for Mac),
an invisible character is appended at the end for alignment.

that would screw up the barcode data.

Even when we were using bar code fonts, we would always purchase them to ensure 
the quality of the image.  These need to be precise, especially if your using 
compact, high density codes.

Free fonts are really not free...

RE: Barcode

2020-03-20 Thread Stephen J. Orth via 4D_Tech 
As I've said previously, we also switched away from fonts (to hmBarcode) for 
varying reasons:

1. The various Windows OS updates have caused problems due to the changes on 
how they index fonts internally.

2. Bar code fonts are not part of the normal Windows font list, so you need to 
have a way to install these on every system using your code.

3. Windows now treats fonts as potentially malicious ways to introduce 
something nefarious.  Depending upon where you store fonts, you will run into 
situations where the OS locks it down.

There are other reasons not to use fonts and instead use a "system" that 
generates pictures instead.

Best,


Steve

If you need a "Code 39" barcode then you can use the following method.
I adapted it out of a component by Thomas Maul and made it standalone.
It returns a picure that you can place on a form to print.

C_TEXT($1;$tCode)
C_LONGINT($2;$lScale)
C_PICTURE($0)
C_TEXT($tPattern;$t;$tSVG;$tLine;$tPoints;$tRef)

$tCode:=$1
If (Count parameters>1)
$lScale:=$2
Else 
$lScale:=1
End if 

If ($Tcode#"*@")
$tcode:="*"+$tcode

we wrote a library way back in the day that used 4d draw, i think, but
using a font was always less hassle and faster.
building your own barcodes is like writing EPS or PDF or PCL from scratch.
You can do it, but if you don't have to, maybe you shouldn't.
