I am using a report printing bean (PrintLet) to generate some reports in
my java application.
In addition to reports I wanted to provide the users with the capability
to print labels with barcodes (values from a database).  I can setup and
print to the label printer fine but I can't figure how to get my java
application to be able to see my barcode fonts (WinNT, True Type
fonts).  I've looked in several java books and the JBuilder help and was
wondering if it is possible to even use a font other than the 9 fonts
that java.awt has available.  I realize that in doing so it makes my
application no longer platform independent but I didn't want to change
tools just to add this label printing capability to my application on
this NT machine.
