We created a barcode font adopting the EAN-13 format using FontCreator 5.0. Under Windows XP, the font works great. Our company will be soon moving to Windows 7, and during testing, we noticed that our font will now not display properly. The zero (0) character is showing a normal font for the zero instead of the bar code.
If you open our font using the demo version of 6.0 and perform a test you will see the 0 appear instead of the bar code font of zero.
Please help.

Can you attach your font for testing purposes?

The font is not correct according to Microsoft specs. It misses the first four glyphs. See this part of our manual:
I recommend you create a new font with FontCreator, and copy and paste the glyph outlines from the old font to the new one. That should certainly solve this (and potential other) issue(s).

Thank you. We purchased version 6.2 (Professional), created a new font and copied and pasted the barcode characters from our original version into the new one. Tested and works great.
Thanks so much.
