Hi @Troben,
Thank you for the input. Yes, I am able to import fonts and generate barcodes via pdf.
However, my business use case is to generate barcodes in html for printing purposes.
Is there any workaround for html? Thank you.

Hi Sudheen
It's just a font you install on the Cognos Server - more info here:

Thank you Jacqui.
I really appreciate your response. So you didnt have you import any fonts to cognos application?
Can you share an example on how you managed to embed the google font. Thank you in advance.

Hi there Sudheen,
We've managed to get Cognos reports to generate barcodes by simply embedding a google barcode font, rather than importing a font into the Cognos application.
eg: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+128
This worked for both HTML and PDF based reports.
cheers,
Jacqui

Hi,
We have a business requirement to generate barcodes via cognos reports.
We have standard product codes and we would like to generate barcodes from cognos.
In our current setup, we have crystal reports to generate barcode for our warehouse associates and we are planning to migrate crystal to cognos. One of major blocker is barcode generation.
Online research pointed out to some additional fonts for barcodes. Not sure of the entire approach and if its even possible in cognos.
