TTFReader unable to handle 3 of 9 Barcode font

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem.
Someone is disussing this problem in the following newsgroup:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=103098230522738&w=2

It seems that one way to solve this problem for several .ttf files is to 
convert it in a .ttx file and then back again to .ttf through FootTools (Open 
Source software that you can download from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/ ).
They say that by these transformations, some .ttf that previuosly had trouble 
to be used with TTFReader, has begun to work.

I tried the same with the 3of9.ttf file, but the process to re-convert the .ttx 
file in .ttf file does NOT work. 
It stops giving out this message:
