Hello Behdad,

No, you missed my point. I could print barcode to Postscript with a free
application programming directly Postscript; see

http://code.google.com/p/postscriptbarcode/

But, I want to do it in combination with UTF-8 text, as I can do it with
OCR-B using pango and cairo. If the barcode font is free or must be
paided for, does not matter. I just need a working example and a pointer
to a font which would work.

Thanks in any case for your feedback.
