Sure.
The PDF you can get here http://naoliv.googlepages.com/giap.pdf (size
is 146k) and the font here http://naoliv.googlepages.com/Bar25if.ttf
(24k).

The barcode should appear on pages 2 to 5 (like this picture here
http://naoliv.googlepages.com/giap.png)

It's strange because with Evince, the barcode is displayed correctly
but with xpdf and acroread it's not.

I'm able to see the barcodes in giap.pdf (using xpdf) even if neither
fontconfig nor XFree86 recognize the font "Bar 25i."

Enabling the font for fontconfig and XFree86 does not cause any change
as far as I can see. I have no idea why it's not working for xpdf on
your system.

Argh... sorry for my last explanation.

With Evince it correctly displays the barcode:

But with xpdf it doesn't: http://naoliv.googlepages.com/giap.png (it's
the same image that you saw on your system).

My last explanation was not good but now I think that it's better to
understand :-)

Thank you!

Best regards,

Okay, now I see it :-)

Unfortunately, evince doesn't show the barcodes on my system. In fact, none of evince, xpdf, gpdf, and kpdf can see the barcodes.

This is even after I enable "Bar 25i" for both fontconfig and XFree86.

I'm using evince 0.1.5, and xpdf 3.00.

See if you can get the barcode font embedded in the PDF file.
