I am attempting to embed the FREE3OF9.TTF font within the Siberix.Report.Report.
In order for the Bar Code reader to read the Bar Code correctly is to append an "*" at the beginning and the end. Since this is the normal FREE3OF9 and not Extended all the characters are uppercase.
I am finding that the Siberix.Report.Report is adding a space within each character. I have also tested with the built in fonts of Arial and TimesNewRomanItalic and also added another custom font of HelveticaNeue.TTF. Each of these fonts don't appear to add the spaces within the characters.

I've attached a sample project using the Example project found within \Evaluation\Examples\CS\Elements\Text in order to ensure that the fonts are working correctly.
There is a new folder called Fonts which contains the HelveticaNeue.TTF and the FREE3OF9.TTF fonts.

We are using 10.1.157.0 full version in production.

Any insight as to why this might be happening would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

The monospace property of the barcode font that you use is not set, which makes it not following to the TTF specification strictly. I made a fix to account for this situation. Please see the attached PDF file. Please contact me on in...@siberix.com with your licensing info (the name of the company and the name of the person who made the purchase) so i'd provide you with the updated version.

Thank You,
Victor
