If you want easy to see the connection between the font number and the font file
member name, you can insert ‘BARCOD’ followed by the font number for the FONT-file
member name instead of *GEN. If you do not do this, then the only way to find out which
soft font fits with what font number is through the table in Autodownload!
Editing of font ID’s for barcodes are done under 1. Description of additional fonts in the
Work with Fonts menu.
