Font Styles for UPC-A

I have noticed that almost all product barcodes use a font simliar to OCR B MT rather than Courier. Also the first company prefix digit and the checksum digit are usually smaller text height. Is there any way to change this or possibly include this feature in a later release of the Barcode Creator.

Thank you

I have listed this in the well-to-have feature list. Hopefully it will go into Barcode Creator 3.0 (project name Firebird).

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have so far found your software to be the easiest to use among all the other barcode creators. I will seriously consider an upgrade to your new version if they improve some of the text. Cool project name by the way.

I would also suggest you take a look at Morovia UPC Fontware, which uses OCR-B as the human readable text. Here is the link:
