Brant	Best Answer 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. Posted 12.7 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse

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