 Because soft fonts are raster images they can not be resized, so it is not possible to specify a font size or style (**bold** / //italic//). If one wishes to widen a barcode one technique is to map the field more than once, positioning the barcoded fields so that the bars are parallel. The effect is a wider barcode.
