I have a report (label actually) with a barcode that I'm printing to a Monarch thermal printer.  When creating the report, I did the right click.. change to barcode, then chose one of the two choises - code 3 of 9 or code 3 of 9 Full ASCII (I can't remember which it was right now), but both seem to convert to font Code39AzaelaWide2.ttf.   After moving the .rpt file to the test server along with the Crystal runtime and calling it with a C# program, instead of a barcode, we got an * followed by the field in plain text.  Some research indicated that was the symptom of a missing font, so I copied the Code39AzaleaWide2.ttf font from my hard drive to the test server and it worked fine.  Then I added the font to the production server along with the .rpt file and Crystal runtime and now instead of the barcode or an * followed by the field in plain text, I get random special characters.  I removed the barcode, just to test and got the * followed by the field in plain text, so I know Crystal is finding the font, but for some reason is not rendering it correctly as a barcode.  I wondered why the fonts are not part of the Crystal runtime.  Are they supposed to be purchased separately?  Is there something else I'm missing?  Can't figure out why it works perfectly when run from the test server, but when run from the production server and printing to the same printer I used to test with, I get no barcode.  Any suggestions?

Sandy,

cobill,
it does sound strange (but i can actually see it helping, too) at any rate, we tried it and it did not fix our problem.

thanks
