I already have made a new font to create the barcode in my Smartform. But now the next step.
How can I create a barcode with a horizontal line trough it?
Example:
Hope anyone could help me. I'm pretty stuck here.
i don't think there is a strikethrough option for the fonts.
if the barcode is always present at the same place, and nearly occupy the same place, you could use one of the following method
simulate the line with an empty windows over the one containing the barcode, with a non null border
use an empty window with an image containing the line

Consider the below ZPL code.
^XA
^BY2,2,80
^FO50,50^BCR^FD3079+Plate-SS-14 # 44^FS
^XZ
Using the online viewer at http://labelary.com/viewer.html shows you vertically rotated bar code with label beneath and everything appears to be fine.
However, when I print the label the bar code is not scan-able because the lines of the bar code are too thick (see below images). Removing the rotate flag from ^BCR and making it ^BC fixes the issue and the lines are perfectly normal and scan-able. I have tried numerous different methods to rotate the code with no success and can't wrap my head around as to why the lines become thicker when rotating a bar code.
Does anyone have any insight as to why this happens?

In my case, the solution was the printing speed being too fast. Another potential solution would be to turn down the darkness or temperature of the printer itself if it's an option in the settings.
Simply opening my respective zebra printer's printing preferences showed me a Print Speed setting which was set to 12.7 cm/s. Reducing it down to 10.1 cm/s fixed the problem.
Adjust the Darkness of the printing and/or the speed of the printing. that should solve your problem.
I think it is a problem with your use of the PNG file that the site generates. The PNG file generated includes enough whitespace in the front (top) quiet zone of the symbol to scan, but if you use the Windows system viewer to print the barcode and print in full size, it slices off the top-most bars.
Try embedding the PNG file into a document, setting the photo size to less than full page, or use the PDF file.
It seems not possible to view the exact margin between font-elements in XD (dev-view). Below you'll find a screenshot of a situation where we need to measure the exact distance between two Font-elements (XD developer-view).
It needs to bypass the line-height, but it doesn't. To be able to do this, we need the line-height to be zero. But when we edit the line-height in XD for a word or sentence on a single row, XD does not change that line-height.
Anybody encountered the same situation?
In this example the line-height is 32. We go to XD. Change it to zero, save it and SHARE FOR DEVELOPMENT. But the line-height remains 32. Also changing it to 1 instead of zero won't make any difference.
To fix this issue, you have to select the Text within Adobe XD. Right Click and select Path > Convert to Path. The margins around the Text will disappear and when in DEVELOPMENT view it becomes possible to see the right margin. A small problem remains. When you want to edit the text when it's a shape, you have to delete it and place a new text and turn it into a shape again. the text when converted to a shape
The default selector in Adobe XD will not give you the exact margin between two text. You have to convert the text layer into paths (Convert to Outlines) to get the exact margin.
But remember after converting text layer into path the text cannot be edited because now the letter are separate vector shapes.
To convert text layer into Path, select the layer and goto Object>Path>Click Convert to Path
You can use the Guides to drag one below your text and another one on top of the second text, and then you can see the distance between the 2 guides.
Check this youtube video for a quick tutorial on it. This is going to be a manual action. I don't think there's a key to press to check the distance automatically.
Im not sure how to express it so I posted a picture in link below.
It should look like this
Just enter the text on 3 lines like so:
MORE
AT
THE HALL
Then adjust the point sizes, leading, kearning, etc. to create the aesthetic you want.
In this case line 1 and 3 could have full justification.
You can use scaling of the text(as shown in the character panel in attached snapshot) because changing font size also moves the baseline and causes the text to shift downward.
These attributes are also exposed via scripting.
Having struggles trying to get the following view to work across devices, this is just one of many of my auto-layout issues. I have some text next to a UISwitch, on devices that are large enough I am happy for the text to be on a single line but on smaller devices the text can be split across multiple lines, I just can't get it to work correctly, it either appears like the screenshot or somewhere else messed up no matter what constraints I try to apply.
The middle image is iPhone 7.
I know this question is old, but it is something I encountered myself recently.
In the storyboard, you should set the label's horizontal Content Compression Resistance Priority to 749.
Looks like the trailing side of the switch is not constrained to align with the trailing side of the text field and other UI elements. Also make sure there is no constraint for the width of the text, as this is what will stretch.
I print a text using ZPL but they are printed incorrectly. It has gaps in the middle. They are printed correctly to the real printer via the ZebraDesigner. But they are wrong when printing via ZPL:
^FT246,70^A0R,16,16
^FB900,2,,
^FDMaisstaerke, Austernuce, Cashewnuss,Pilz, Mais, Lattich, Pack Choi,Sojasprossen^FS
It is printed as 'Maisstaerke, Austernuce, Cashewnuss,Pilz, Mais, Lattich, Pack Choi, Sojasprossen'
(there is a big gap after 'Mais,').

I'm unable to reproduce the issue, but the field block width seems rather large; you didn't specify any label dimensions in the original post. If you use the following code--a combination from the original post and your comments:
^XA
^PW560
^LL560
^LS0
^FO246,70^GB28,300,,^FS
^FT246,70^A0R,16,16 ^FB300,2,, ^FDMaisstaerke, Austernuce, Cashewnuss,Pilz, Mais, Lattich, Pack Choi,Sojasprossen^FS
^PQ1,0,1,Y
^XZ
I can reproduce what is possibly the issue--the field block automatic word wrapping--by reducing the field block width to 300 dots.
I also drew a box around the block for visualization. You can test in on the Labelary Viewer.
Finally, if you're somehow composing the data make sure there are no special (non printable, such as tab, non-UTF-8 or accented) characters in it, and if so, you will have to pre-escape them.
