Could you use a barcode font?

------------------------------

Hi Brett,

there is not much hope to find an easy eps-wmf convert solution!

EPS is "Encapsulated PostScript". It is made to be interpreted by a
postscript output device with a built-in postscript interpreter. It
is up o the creator how to use the postscript programing language to
create text, graphic and text for an eps file. This means the output
device or the converter must have a complete PS interpreter. Most PS
interpreters are made for raster output and I have never seen a ps to
'other graphic formats' converter that does a reliable job.

So I think if you can't use eps the best way would be to convert it
to an high-res image.
But I don't think that an JPEG is the appropriate format. JPEG is
good for landscape or portrait photographs, but not for line art. The
barcode is black & white. Only 1 bit per pixel is needed.
A 1 bit TIFF with LZW compression will have a far better quality
compared to a JPEG.
I'am not really sure about the file size, but I would bet the 1 bit
TIFF with LZW is equal or less compared to the JPEG.
