Legacy barcode fonts are provided in this package for support of older systems, proprietary applications or for symbologies that are rarely used today.
The TrueType TTF fonts in the legacy folder include the lower case start/stop characters "a" and "d" as well as the start/stop character "B" within the font at character "m" and start/stop character "A" at "t". These locations are required for some legacy systems. All modern systems should only use the uppercase letters A-D. These older versions of the TTF fonts are also unsigned.

Codabar Start / Stop Character | Alternate Locations |
A | a, t |
B | b, m |
C | c |
D | d, e |
This TrueType font version is formatted for the Macintosh computer in MacBinary format. This encodes both resource and data forks into one file so it can be encoded in a ZIP file. Using this file on a Mac is a two step process:
Some Macintosh systems require ATM (Adobe Type Manager) to be installed before the PostScript Type 1 fonts can be installed and used. The ".mt1" file is the Type 1 printer font file and the ".bma" is the screen font file. These files are encoded in MacBinary format. MacBinary format encodes both resource and data forks into one file so it can be encoded in a ZIP file. The screen fonts created for Mac Type1 fonts are intended for use with the associated printer font and Adobe Type Manager. The characters are blank stubs, which are not used when there is also a printer font and the ATM rendering is on. Using these fonts on a Mac is a two step process:
