C39DEM.ZIP - A Code39 Demo copyright 1994 Jerry Whiting Azalea Software, Inc. PO Box 16745 Seattle WA 98116-0745 206 932.4030 206 937.5919 FAX azalea@igc.org 72627,746 The enclosed Code 39 font is a sample TrueType font from our C39Tools font package - a collection of Code 39 bar code fonts in both TrueType and Type 1 format. Code 39 bar codes are the most common symbology used for inventory, ID and tracking purposes. For instance, Code 39 bar codes are what get scanned when you rent a videotape. Install this TrueType font using the Control Panel/Fonts from the Program Manager. It will then appear in the font menu of any Windows application. This sample font includes ONLY the characters ABC123 and the asterisk (*), used as the start and stop bar in Code 39. If a string of text beginning and ending with an asterisk and consisting of any combination of ABC123 is formatted in the sample font and scaled to 36 points, you'll get a bar code symbol that is 1/2" high. Format it at 24 points and get bars 1/3" high, etc. Using fonts to create bar codes is by far the most powerful, flexible and versatile approach. It makes creating a bar code as easy as changing fonts. This is especially important when you're printing bar codes from within an existing database. Simply format one or more fields in one of our fonts. So many of our customers are using our fonts with databases that we provide sample database routines with C39Tools written in Microsoft Access, Paradox for Windows, Microsoft FoxPro and Microsoft Visual Basic. To illustrate how easy it is to print Code 39 symbols using our fonts from within your database, we've included sample files for Visual Basic, Access, FoxPro and Paradox. Look them over; you'll agree that it's a snap. And remember: we include the full database samples right in C39Tools!! The full C39Tools product includes eight Code 39 fonts of various sizes and dimensions, and an OCR-B font used for the optional human-readable digits under the bars. The full C39Tools font set is only $99 and available directly from us. Site licenses are available. If you want to bundle one or more of our fonts with your application, contact us.
