title: Jasper Reports - Custom Barcode Generation
body: <p>Libraries/Tools used: 
  1) Jasper Reports
  2) iReport
  3) Java</p>
  
  <p>I've already generated some standard barcodes for my reports, but this time, I'm trying to generate a custom barcode, for which I've a font file custom-barcode.ttf. As of now, iReport supports 2 barcode libraries - Barcode4j and Barbecue, which don't support the custom barcode that I need. Any ideas to get started, without much overhead of using some new library (I'm using Barcode4j already)?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I'm aware that a similar question (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4303510/custom-barcode-font">custom barcode font</a>) exists on this site already.</p>
