IDAutomation’s Free Code 39 Barcode Font allows the ability to print letters, numbers, and some symbols with the Code 3 of 9 symbology. This barcode font is a fully functional freeware font for qualifying organizations. The TTF font file provided is digitally signed with TrueType outlines.

To generate a Code 39 barcode from a font, the data-to-encode is to be surrounded by asterisks as the start and stop characters, i.e. *153969*. In Microsoft Word, the start and stop characters should be “!” instead of the asterisk because of a formatting issue, i.e. !153969!.

To hide the asterisks from appearing in the human-readable below the barcode, use the parenthesis surrounding the data, i.e. (12345).
