scannable barcode FONTS for SSRS report which can scan symbols too
<p>There are basically two questions I'd like to ask here.</p>

<hr>

<p><br>
 I have downloaded few fonts.(code 128, code-128 and free3to9 etc)<br>
 created report<br>
 took textBox<br>
 entered string like <code>123#123</code><br>
 set textbox font to downloaded few fonts.<bR><bR>
 In preview,<br>
 everything is fine. But when I try to read/scan generated barcode from preview,<br>
 In some case, it returns other fonts than <code>123#123</code><br>
 In some case, it doesn't scan the font.</p>

<p>So question is, <bR>
 1). In SSRS report can we add scannable font which can scan symbols too and give exact and desire output? 
<bR><bR> If yes how and please let me know working font download link.</p>

<p>2). Only by downloading font and storing it to client and server would give desire out put?</p>

<hr>

<p>I have checked this article which forces you to add <code>.dll file</code> and change some <code>core files</code>.</p>

<p>I followed this article and able to get the desired output. I could generate barcode in ssrs report and by exporting it to PDF, I'm able to scan it properly with symbols.</p>

<p>But this approach requires to <code>copy .dll</code> to </p>

<pre><code>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies 
</code></pre>

<p>I did it and everything works as a charm.</p>

<p>But problem is I don't want to go with this approach as at server end I have to change some <code>core files</code> and <code>copy .dll</code>. I don't want to take such risk as high risk is associated with it.</p>

<p>so any other alternative way if someone has done it already.</p>
