Have received great feedback on the TableGrid - both praise for its current
power and ease of use and of course requests for additional features.

Best regards,

Nard Mo…RB 15 renders the barcode to an intermediate metafile. A metafile records
Windows GDI commands and then plays them back to the output device, so the
result should be the same. The output looks identical in my testing.

I tried a simple test here, created a report with a BarCode type 39 and
printed it the printer using RB 14.08 and RB 15. The output looks identical
to me. Perhaps you can try the same test.

When TextPipeline.Encoding is specified, a BOM should not be required. This
will be fixed for the next maintenance release.
We will also update the documentation. I notice the Encoding property is…
