ShopVille, I hope you're still following this thread...

I have just built this as a plugin and will be releasing it in a few days, but got stuck when I tried to implement YOUR approach. Maybe it's just my barcode scanner and the fact it's probably one of the very first USB models , but I can't seem to scan that font after printing it out, it just doesn't recognize it... Did you try scanning it, does your scanner recognize it? I've tried a few other 3of9 fonts (Code 39), but can't scan any...
