Barcode font not loading dynamically in MS Word when generating RTF from Java using iText

Question

Hi Folks, I am using iText API to generate RTF using Java. The RTF file is generated fine but one requirement is adding a barcode. What i did is:

FontFactory.register("c:\\windows\\fonts\\FREE3OF9.ttf", "Free 3 of 9 Extended");
return FontFactory.getFont("Free 3 of 9 Extended",20, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);

I tried loading other fonts; that was working fine, but it doesn't work when I use the barcode font (FREE3OF9.ttf).

The RTF file is generated but the the "Font name" looks like "New" instead of "Free 3 of 9 Extended" in MS Word when I open it. When I select the words and choose the font name, the barcode appears fine.

I think there is a problem with Free 3 of 9 Extended Font.
