I want to output various barcodes on screen (eg EAN 128, UPC-A or Code 39)... does Basic4ppc have support for that sort of functionality?

There are special fonts you can use.
This one for example: Free Barcode Font - Code 39 - Not a demo, COMPLETELY free
You should first copy FREE3OF9.ttf to \Windows\Fonts.
Afterwards you should change the font of a textbox or label (flb is a FormLib object):

B4X:
Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
flb.New1("form1",B4PObject(1))
TextBox1.FontSize = 40
flb.ChangeFont("textbox1","Free 3 of 9")
TextBox1.Text = "*2141*"
End Subthanks.
should have mentioned I'm after doing this on a Smartphone, and UPC-A is probably the most important.
There are some barcode DLLs but I didn't want to pay the $400+ if I could avoid it (I want to make a free app!)

You can probably use a font like this one: http://www.barcode-1.net/pub/russadam/shareware/upc-a.zip
