Barcode Font?
Rating: +1
Well, JetForm generally doesn't use fonts for barcodes at all - it actually draws them, which is faster.
If you were to find one of the .IFD files (IFD's are the form design files) that has a barcode on it and open it up in JetForm Design, you could find out what it was just by looking at it.
If you can't do that, you might just examine the barcode against known samples...or just ask the customer what kind(s) of barcode they can read and/or which one they want.
Indeed, that last approach might be the fastest way to get past this. Say the old code was 2of5 or something like that, now they might be able to read Code128 or 3of9 or some other format that has higher density and can thus be smaller.
Of course, I don't know what the barcode is for - it could be for paper handling for all I know - but when you're redeveloping something like this it's often a good opportunity to take another look at it.
