7104.0. "AFM files for barcode font ?" by GYPOS3::EIBL (Reinhard Eibl @FKR, DTN 865-4027) Fri Feb 28 1997 09:26

Hello all,

sorry for probable stupid questions below, but i'm more familiar with
GKS/PHIGS and X11 graphics.

A customer asked me for barcode AFM files. What i found in COMET is that
LNSFT-DM software (for which we pay royalty) includes the barcode fonts for
postscript printing.

What i'd like to know is:
- should the AFM font metric files come with the LNSFT-DM kit ?
- are barcode AFM files available on the net or must they be calculated
  out of the font files by a tool ?
- can i give them to customer ?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

	I'm farily certain that AFM files are not shipped with the DEClaser soft font kits. I don't know whether anyone knows anything in detail about these packages any longer, however. I'll have to make some inquiries.
