Code 128 Fonts point size and X-Dimension issues.

Hi,
We are generating barcodes using IDAutomation font.

And in the Barcode certification test, we got a "C" grade. The reason is X-Dimensions are not good.

X-Dimension is "13.5" and the expected is "14 or more".

We are using "font-size: 16pt; and font-family: IDAutomationC128L;

We are using style and printing with a thermal Zebra printer.

Please suggest to us:
1. what would be the good font and point size to get an X-Dimension of "14"?
2. Is it better to use ZPL commands to print the Barcode labels, right now we are using a simple CSS style and printing with a thermal zebra printer.

Thanks in advance,
Pankaj
