We have the same problem at my company. Luckily, only 1-2 people ever need to use the barcode fonts.

We have found that when they received new a PC, the fonts didn't work through any browsers. They had to open up a client application (like Word), choose a barcode font, and do some typing to "initialize" that font.

The best solution, I think, is to create a barcode image on the server on demand. The problem with this solution could be cleaning up old images. This solution requires more work up-front but pays off with less on-going issues and maintenance than the client side solution, in my opinion.
