-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----Hash: SHA1 Font: Free 3 of 9 Barcode (free3of9.ttf) Created By: Matthew Welch E-Mail: daffy-duck@worldnet.att.

net Web Address: http://home.att.net/~daffy-duck (PGP public key available here) Free 3 of 9, like all of my fonts, is free. You can use it for most personal or business uses you'd like, and I ask for no money. I would, however, like to hear from you. If you use my fonts for something please send me a postcard or e-mail letting me know how you used it. Send me a copy if you can or let me know where I can find your work. You may use this font for graphical or printed work, but you may not sell it or include it in a collection of fonts (on CD or otherwise) being sold. You can redistribute this font as long as you charge nothing to receive it. If you redistribute it include this text file with it as is (without modifications). If you use this font for commercial purposes please credit me in at least some little way. About the font: Can you believe there are people who would charge you for a barcode font like this? It took very little time to make this so I thought I'd donate it to the world. It is suitable for scanning even at fairly small point sizes (with a laser printer). I have tested printed copies of this font with a couple different scanners and it worked perfectly. This is 3 of 9 (sometimes called "code 39"), a widely used barcode standard that includes capital letters, numbers, and several symbols. This is not the barcode for UPC's (universal price codes) found on products at the store. However, most kinds of barcode scanners will recognize 3 of 9 just fine. To create a valid 3 of 9 barcode you have to begin and end it with a special character. Scanners look for this character to know where to start and stop reading the barcode. It is represented in this font with the '*' character. So, to create a barcode for the text "ABC123" you have to type out "*ABC123*". Note that barcode readers will not include the *'s in the text they return. They will just give you the "ABC123". The symbols included in 3 of 9 are $ % + - . and /. To include a space in your barcode use '_' (shift '-'). There is an extended version of 3 of 9 that includes special codes for all of the ASCII characters. If you are interested in using it please contact me. If I get enough interest I will put a font together. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv
