TTF (font Use)

[Nikhil]

How to use TTF (True type fonts) in .net CF ?
I want to use TTF for Barcode generation.
Target OS is PocketPC 2000 & Later,I am using C# (Dot net Compact
Framework).

Is there any other alternative available apart from BarcodeCE from field
software which doesn't supports PPC2000 ?

I am also finding it difficult to provide printing option in my application
as again the available options are very less i.e. 1. use Symbol
Device,symbol Printer 2. use Symbol sps 3000 for iPaq and use Symbol
microFlash (MF) Series.

Once again if I want to use printer then PrinterCE looks like the only
option but here again it doesn't supports PPC2000.

Let me clearly tell you what type of solution we are trying to provide.
1. Provide WLAN accessibility. We don't have any problem as already our
applications previous version provide this facility
2. Barcode Scanning. We have found 2 solutions. 1. Use symbol device with
scanner and inbuilt WLAN support. 2. Use iPaq and SPS 3000.
3. Barcode Generation. We have found 2 solutions with doubts.1. Use Symbol
device 2.Use iPaq and use TTF or BarcodeCE(no support for PPC)
4. Barcode Printing. We have found 2 solutions with doubts.1. Use Symbol
device 2.Use iPaq and use TTF or PrinterCE(no support for PPC)

We want to provide solution for PPC2000 also ,for which we could not find
any solution yet.

Copy the font to the Windows directory and then cause it to be loaded and
used when you are doing the printing (you'd create an instance of Font).
Presumably, the font's representation of each character is the bar set that
represents the character in the target barcode symbology. Don't forget to
buy the font license.

If you could connect to a Zebra printer, I think it would be relatively easy
to write the control characters yourself through the serial port.
