I had a similar problem when I tried to create a PDF using that font.

 

The font declaration I use in my xml file is:

<reportFont name="Barcode" isDefault="false" fontName="3 of 9 barcode" size="12" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isStrikeThrough="false" pdfFontName="External TTF font" pdfEncoding="CP1252" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>

 

When using the font in a textElement I use:

<font reportFont="Barcode" pdfFontName="3OF9.TTF" size="12" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isPdfEmbedded ="true" pdfEncoding ="CP1252" isStrikeThrough="false" />

 

I used IReport to generate most of my XML code, and then tweaked it to get it to work.

 

Hope this helps.
