	Bar Codes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Code 39 fonts require an asterisk to be the first and last character (The asterisk doesn't appear in the scanner output because it only acts as a start/stop marker).
		A proper asterisk bar code will be generated, but using a non-standard start/stop character will suppress the plain-text display of the asterisk (for those fonts that display text).
		For example, notice all the bar codes to the left have identical bars, but show or hide the start/stop asterisk based on whether or not an asterisk was actually used.
