The Fonts

The Universal Barcode Font kit includes fonts of 5 height/width ratios – with the UNAxxx fonts being the tall and thin variety and UNExxx being short and fat!

Each font is supplied with full or correct width bars (the UNxWxx fonts -wide), and fonts in which the bar width is reduced by 8% (UnxRxx - regular), 16% (UnxNxx - narrow) and 24% (UnxTxx - thin). For most modern printers the wide fonts are suitable, while for older printers and those which have problems with fine lines, the regular fonts are recommended. The narrow and thin fonts are primarily intended for systems in which ink spreads.

Fonts are provided in TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OFT), PostScript Type 1 (PFA) and PostScript Type 3 (PFB) formats; the PostScript varieties include the associated INF, PFM and AFM files. All fonts are placed in the appropriately named sub-folder of the fonts folder in the product installation directory, and any font may be installed into Windows using the Fonts icon in the Windows Control Panel.
