TrueType with Symbol Encoding Fonts

Symbol encoded fonts are provided in this package for the primary purpose of being able to properly view the font name in font drop-down selection lists that exist in popular applications such as Microsoft Office. Symbol fonts are not installed by default because they have been known to cause problems when the locale of the operating system is not set to US Western (ANSI 1252). They have also been known to cause problems with Crystal Reports and when embedding into PDF documents. If problems are experienced, including the appearance of boxes within the barcode, do not use symbol encoded fonts.

In the Demo version of these Code 128 fonts, an intermittent "DEMO" watermark will appear at the top of the barcode, which may sometimes cause scanner read errors. A successful scan can be obtained for testing purposes by scanning the lower portion of the barcode that does not contain the watermark.
