IDAutomation’s TrueType and OpenType Barcode Fonts may be used
in custom applications on the iPhone and iPad.
The following demonstrates how this is accomplished:

Drag the barcode font file into the resources folder
in the Project Window. For this example, IDAutomationC39xs.ttf will be used.

Edit the Info.plist file and create a key named
UIAppFonts with the filename of the font as an
array value:

<key>UIAppFonts</key>
<array>
<string>IDAutomationC39xs.ttf</string>
</array>

Refer to the font name in your application to
make use of it, for example:
[UIFont fontWithName:@"IDAutomationC39xs" size:12.0];

For all self-checking barcode fonts such as Code-39
used in the example above, be sure to include the start
and stop digit. For example, to encode the text “ ABCDE ”,
the text to display or print using the Code-39 barcode
font would be “ *ABCDE* ” because the “*” character is
the start/stop digit for Code-39.

Additional symbologies such as Code-128 require a check
digit calculation in addition to start/stop characters.
IDAutomation provides several font encoders
that include the code to perform this conversion that
can be easily rewritten in Objective C for this purpose.

The above example was provided by an external source for iOS 4.
For additional assistance, refer to the iOS development Library.

IDAutomation now offers a sample XCode project that implements the free Code-39 font on the iPhone.
