Does anyone know of a good third-party tool to embed/utilize OCR or barcode fonts?

I've found a number of free OCR and barcode fonts on the web. Make sure you know which type you're getting (OCR A or OCR B, Barcode 39, 128, etc.) and do some research to make sure your customers can scan them. Some of the barcode fonts may require checkdigit calculations and/or prefix and suffix characters. I've found Barcode 39 to be the easiest to deal with.

Google is your friend, there are plenty of easy-to-start tutorials and FAQs available.
