"3 of 9 Barcode" font problem

I have tried that and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Is the font installed ?
Can other program use the font ?

Yes the font is installed, Word can use it.  It is a TrueType font and is in the Fonts folder in Control Panel.

Try a program from Codeguru: http://codeguru.earthweb.com/gdi/GetF.shtml. It hooks into font selection dialog box, and tells you exactly how to set up a LOGFONT structure for a particular font you want to display.

I tried that too and set up the logfont exactly like the 3 of 9 Barcode and it still doesn't work.

By my experiance reason of such thing in charset field.
Next is my solution:
Make loop from 0 to 255 to charset.
Display/Print same line with i-th charset.
If you you see, that in charset = 181(for example) line has been dispayed ok, this is you charset.
Try it!

Send the font to me from my email listed on www.fengyuan.com, and I shall give you a solution.

Alex I tried your solution, but it didn't work.  I tried the same thing for PitchAndFamily, that didn't work either.

I hope Feng has a solution.

Thanks anyways.

I tried the following on Windows 2000, and does not have problem:

    LOGFONT lf;

    memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(lf));

    lf.lfHeight   = -64;
    lf.lfCharSet  = ANSI_CHARSET;
    strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "3 of 9 Barcode");

    HFONT hFont = CreateFontIndirect(& lf);
    HGDIOBJ hOld = SelectObject(hDC, hFont);

    TextOut(hDC, 100, 100, "0130869856", 10);

    SelectObject(hDC, hOld);
    DeleteObject(hFont);

    lf.lfHeight = - 32;
    lf.lfCharSet  = ANSI_CHARSET;
    strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Times New Roman");

    hFont = CreateFontIndirect(& lf);
    hOld  = SelectObject(hDC, hFont);

    TextOut(hDC, 100, 50, "ISBN 0-13-086985-6", 18);

    SelectObject(hDC, hOld);
    DeleteObject(hFont);

Hello Feng,

I tried setting lfHeigth to -64 and lfCharSet to ANSI_CHARSET  in my code, which is in OnPrint which uses pDC, pDC->TextOut... etc.  But it doesn't work.  Why does it not work?  Your code refers to hDC but I think you left out a couple of lines, one would be HDC hDC, then what did you initialize it to?

Feng, I don't think it has anything to do with the printer because the font works on Word and Wordpad.  It should also work in my program.  Do you think I have the following settings right?

LOGFONT lf;
memset(&lf,0,sizeof(lf));
lf.lfHeight= 64;
lf.lfWidth=0;
lf.lfEscapement=0;
lf.lfOrientation=0;
lf.lfWeight=400;
lf.lfItalic=0;
lf.lfUnderline=0;
lf.lfStrikeOut=0;
lf.lfCharSet = ANSI_CHARSET;
lf.lfOutPrecision=3;
lf.lfClipPrecision=2;
lf.lfQuality=1;
lf.lfPitchAndFamily=82;
lf.lfFaceName, "3 of 9 Barcode";
     CFont font;
     CFont* pOldFont=NULL;

     if (font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf))
     pOldFont=pDC->SelectObject(&font);
     pDC->TextOut(0,200,"12345");

The problem line is the following:

lf.lfFaceName, "3 of 9 Barcode";
 
it should be

strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "3 of 9 Barcode");

I got the answer from the microsoft.public.vc.mfc.

I thank all of you.
