You can use the PEERNET Linear Barcode Bean to add the support for displaying
and printing barcodes.  NO FONTS REQUIRED!!!

For any individuals looking to do BARCODING in Java.  PEERNET Inc. has
released a Java bean name PEERNET Linear Barcode Bean for JDK 1.1 and higher.
 It does not use FONTS.  It generates the barcode using vector graphics.  A
JDK 1.2 addition will be released in the near future taking advantage of JDK
1.2 APIs.

Special Issues :

   The barcode bean features the ability to get the Image of the barcode in a
java.awt.Image object.   For individuals trying to create GIF or other image
formats for inclusion on HTML or DHTML pages.

   The barcode bean supports auto resizing and implements getPreferredSize to
support automatic layout and resize in layout.

   There are two beans in the JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.2 release.  One is AWT based
and the other is SWING based.
