I don't think so scott - Just some new feature growing pains here - We've logged all these and will get them fixed up quick. Thanks for all the help guys!
Of course for now - try to avoid any special chars and it should be okay.
I don't suppose you could chuck in a barcode web font into the advanced print view? I was gutted when I realised it didn't use locally installed True Type fonts.

Can't use locally installed fonts because it's rendered on the server.
you can however create a barcode as a mash up on a field and in turn use it as a field. What Bar Code standard do you need?
Any, it doesn't matter really, I want PLM 360 to generate it for reuse within PLM 360. I've don't trials with 3 of 9, but we need something that can get reasonably small. The thing with barcodes, is the scanners are dirt cheap and can use old pc's around the factory since they just need to use the web.

Okay - Since you're awesome and you basically presented me with a challenge - here's your answer. You can see the attached images doing it.
1. Create a new single line text field on the record you want - make it a computed field with the following formula
'<a href="http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/"><img src="http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/image.php?code=' + NUMBER + ' &style=197&type=C128B&width=200&height=50&xres=1&font=3" alt="the barcode printer: free barcode generator" border="0"></a>'
2. Replace the word "NUMBER" with whatever you want encoded in the Bar Code. For reference I used this site to generate the embed code. Honestly you can use whatever you really want
http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php
3. Then, Create your print view and be sure to add the field and lay it out however you want.
AMAZING! You've made my freaking day, although I now feel inadequate! lol
but that is so cool. Did you already know about the exist of that generator? if not what keywords should I be using to find other wicked stuff like that for mashups?

Thats sometimes the hard part. I started to search Barcode API - but I think that was the wrong approach. It was a bunch of stuff they wanted to sell me to plug into code.
I think the key here - it's stuff you can "embed" into your web site - anything that's as simple as that (like a YouTube video) can work - also - you need a little human readable text in the embde code - i put in some bogus text to make sure when I looked @ their embed code it was something I could pass a pareter into. ("NUMBER") - Simple as that.
again cheers! I will use that for sure.

Actually we can use some free barcode API. I googled and saw many free version of barcode API. I think Code 39 is a better choice for our barcode type.
