Embed Barcode font in PDF report

I am working on creating a report with a barcode in my report. I am using Code 39 barcode (mrvcode39free) that I download from the web for free. It works fine when I Preview the report from Power BI service but when I export to PDF, the barcode is not there.  Can someone help me with this, please? How do I embed the barcode font in my report so that when I export it, it is there? Thanks again in advance.

@MsTess2020 - Not sure there is a solution to that problem. What I'm guessing is that whatever service is generating that PDF does not have that font installed and thus no joy. Only thing I can say is this, You could check the Issues forum here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

And if it is not there, then you could post it.

If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".

@Greg_Deckler Thank you for your reply. I will keep searching. I tried to open a service ticket but it said that I am not a Pro license but I have a Pro license in Gov. tenant. Is there a different link?
