This isn't quite the answer to your question, but a long time ago I
developed a TrueType font for the 3-of-9 barcode (I decided to implement
that instead of UPC because I only needed to encode short strings so
compactness wasn't terribly important, and it only had two bar widths so
it would be easier to read).  It's available at
