PCL to PDF Converter Command Line can not find the barcode fonts

Dear Support,

I am currently trying out your pcl-converter.exe. For me it would be especially important to be able to output a barcode. You have realised this in a simple way, excellent.

I'm using following command line to convert PCL file to PDF file and insert barcode font into final PDF file,

pcltool.exe -barcodetext "*####################*" -barcodefont "Free 3 of 9" TestBill.pcl TestBill-barcode.pdf

Unfortunately, I get an error message. The pattern is recognised, but your tool cannot find the barcode font.

I have copied the TTF files to C:\Windows\Fonts as explained in the readme file. After the error occurred, I still had the 2 fonts installed regularly. Also without success. In Microsoft Word I can use the now installed fonts without any problems.

What am I doing wrong? I work under Microsoft Windows 11 and have run the tests as an administrator.

Thank you very much for your help.

With kind regards
Customer

Thank you for your message. I have found the error in the meantime. The barcode font was installed under the user's account. For example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.
Free 3 of 9 Regular (TrueType) = C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF

Therefore the fonts could not be found. I then manually installed the fonts in the registry. For example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.
Free 3 of 9 Regular (TrueType) = FREE3OF9.TTF

And then it worked immediately. A small note in the ReadMe file might be helpful here.

Thank you very much for your support and help.
