  Set the Location Type to SERVER FILE
  Enter the font name (not .ttf file name) as the Location Data (Free 3 of 9 Regular, for example). Important: The font name is case sensitive, and it is cached in your session. If you need to correct the name, log off & on again so Appx will pick up the new name.

  In the Pre-Display event point enter the following code:
 
      SET      --- WIDGET NAME                =      VENDOR BAR CODE
      READ     --- WIDGET                 HOLD 1 FT 0 BY WIDGET NAME
 On your APPX server, open a command prompt or Run dialog box and run regedit (be very, very careful when editing the Windows registry as mistakes can possibly disable your computer)
-<
<
+ Navigate to HKEYS_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
  Add new keys for PDFlib\PDFlib\7.0.3
  Add a new string for searchpath
  Double-click searchpath and enter the path to the directory where you placed the font file. If the font is placed in the default font directory on Windows XP the entry would be c:\WINDOWS\Font. Multiple directories can be entered by separating them with a semicolon.
