Barcodes such as Code 128, 2D, etc., have no one-to-one relationship between the characters the barcode represents and the characters themselves, due to the compression algorithms etc. used to generate the barcode. In any event, if there were such barcode fonts (as there are for 3 of 9, for example), you wouldn't need to get them from MS.

In any event, why aren't you using Word's MERGEBARCODE field?
