Hi there,

Yes barcode fonts are supported and there is an IBM Proven Practices doc on this as below
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/page85.html?ca=drs-

The big issue is the type of glyphs used in fonts.
There are known issue with some barcode fonts
E.g.

I'd suggest you set up the font and test to see how it rolls out.
Cheers
