We are testing a simple VIPP application that runs fine (under VIPO 7.0) except for the VIPP2OF5 barcode, which is not correctly decoded (i.e., we get a "&%&&!!!" output).

The font is located under the xgfc\fontlib folder, and it has been correctly listed in the nullfl and fontlist files (under c:\xvtp\bin\xgf\encoding).

When the VIPO processes the job, it returns "Completed (with warnings)" but I'm not able to see any log of the process, so I don't know what these warnings are about...

On my laptop (VIPO 5.0) the same application runs fine (without warnings); anyway, whenever I get some warnings, I also found a log file in the VIPO output folder; this does not happen on the testing PC. Why?

Any help would be appreciated.

We successfully use the VIPP 2 of 5 function with the Xerox font MB027V.pfa in fontlib with the following code:

jdt file:

mark
FontDirectory /MB027V known not {(MB027V.pfa) RUN} if
cleartomark

We do not edit nullfl or fontlist

and the dbm:

/MB027V 20 SETFONT
(12345678910111) VSUB 2OF5 2 SHP

PostScript framents are not supported in the JDT (this may work for now but stop working in a future release).
The correct code to place in the JDT is:

[ /MB027V (MB027V.pfa) ] null SETENCODING

Alternative is to add:

/MB027V (MB027V.pfa)

in xgf/encoding/nullfl

We stole that method from years ago when we started out with Lytrod.

We hardly do it now, as we almost always use VI Pro Pub (love it!)
