Custom barcode font?

Using iReport 2.0.2.

I have a barcode font that I would like to use, but the first problem is that it is not included in iReport. I tried to solve the problem using the barcode font as a regular font, and it works fine, but the problem occurs when I send the PDF to a component (pdfBox) that sends the PDF directly to the printer. The component cannot recognize the font (this is a long story and does not matter), even if it embeds and returns the barcode in Arial.

What I need is to somehow insert my barcode into iReport so that it can be used just like any other existing barcode (and generated as an image)?

It seems the problem is what exactly is pdfBox.

To get around this (and create a more stable solution), you can compile the report and generate a PDF file using JasperReports (via Java code) and then use the Java printer library to automatically send it to the default printer (or display a printer dialog of choice).
