Well, hoping to work with Torsten on barcodes in general, given we have support for canvas based drawing of a few formats here at Pinesoft.
 
Also, if Olivier would like some help with TTF in PDFs I can give some pointers etc.

Regards, Gary

You should be able to create a form, paint it white, draw on it with a barcode TTF font, export that form to JPEG, and then use that JPEG into Artefact.

Not really straight-forward, but it should work.

*Note: I've found that writing JPEG's in Pharo, it assumes that the background is BLACK if it isn't isn't specifically painted with something else first.  Unlike PNG and GIF, which assume WHITE.

Hi Torsten,

Artefact don't support TTF fonts for the moment but it's planned in futures versions.

Best regards
Olivier :-)

You just need a TTF font. Does Artefact support TTF? hpdf does.

Do we have some barcode stuff available for Pharo?
Something "Form" based that can be used with Artefact?

Thx
