The code 39 font can be used to render code39 encoded strings.
The font is available in 5 different height to width ratios. (Usually i use code39_XL)
if you need other height to width ratios, you can generate your own font using the barcode font generator
| name | height to width ratio | font size to get 1px wide bars |
|---|---|---|
| code39_S | 1:1 | 15px |
| code39 | 2:1 | 30px |
| code39_L | 3:1 | 45px |
| code39_XL | 4:1 | 60px |
| code39_XXL | 5:1 | 75px |
You can download the font in .ttf, .woff, and .svg format.
You can install it as any other font. To use it as a webfont, you can install with bower:
bower install --save code-39-font
and the in your .html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/code-39-font/code39_all.css"/>
<div class="code_39_XL">*Test*</div>
Code 39 does not require special encoding. the * - character is the start and stop symbol. Only large cap letters can be encoded in code 39, so make sure to .toUpperCase() your strings before displaying.
