During a migration of reports which contain EAN128 / Code128 barcodes to Fast Report I found that Fast Report does not use the correct symbology. The lines of a Code128 barcode are very wide so that they are perfect for long distance scanning in a warehouse. I reported it, but only received a recommendation for a third-party barcode library. This one seems to use the correct symbology but it is still in development (for many months now) and not working with Fast Report in Delphi 2009 yet.

Are there other Code128 / EAN128 barcode libraries available for Fast Report?

Code128 barcode example:

Update: one month later. In the meantime we have received source code from the third-party barcode developer - but it is the same buggy code we received in October 2009. So our projectas are stuck with * Fast Reports wrong Code128 implementation * incomplete and buggy third party library * too little time to implement this ourself, so we still use the Delphi 7 printing system based on QuickReport

The new release 4.9 of Fast Report solved the problem.
