I need to create a report via a aspx page/datagrid and have the user be able
to print it out and have certain fields have the 3of9 barcode font....is
this possible in an aspx page (or for that matter html?) I know you can set
the font of the page etc.. but can the font of a particular field in a
datagrid be set? We do have a datagrid component that can export itself to
Excel...is there something in Excel (template?) that can be used to set this
3of9 font?...

thanks
Doug

The problem is that most computers don'thave that font installed, in which
case they will display the default font (usually Times New Roman). If you
are sure that your users will have this font on their system, it's not a
problem.

If you are unsure that your users have this font, there are a couple of
possibilities. If your users are all using IE 4 or above, you might want to
look at Microsoft WEFT as a means of delivering the font to the user's
browser. See:

Another possibility is using graphics to display the text with the desired
font. This is, of course, a bandwidth consumer, but works on any client
machine.

Another Thought
You can generate the BarCode Font output as an Image using GDI+ on the
server side
then send the BarCode as Images to the Client
