    Not sure what you mean by strongest print. As far as I know barcodes are printed as 600dpi or higher images to be effectively read. Are you generating your own barcodes?

    Barcodes are only another group of fonts

    Code 39 Barcode fonts are just one free collection containing many different print types.

    Thanks for the info. It makes sense that barcodes should be fonts. Not sure how you generate all the funny symbols at the beginning middle and end though.

    I have only ever used the package "barcode" which is available in Linux and a friend of mine has a different package in Windows.

    Have fun.
