This information was developed by + + Norbert Schwarz + Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum + Rechenzentrum + Postfach 10 21 48 + D-4630 Bochum 1 + West Germany + + EARN: P920021@DBORUB01 + + Norbert/Schwarz/ruhr-uni-bochum/de + + + 2. To my knowledge, the original typeface for OCR-B was developed by + Adrian Frutiger. In Germany there even exists an industrial + standard - DIN ????? - that describes the typefaces. Based on such + material the input has been developed. I cannot speak to the legal + consequences of these. + + As far as the digitization in METAFONT input which I have + developed, you may freely use, modify, and/or distribute any of + these files or the resulting fonts, without limitation. A previous + release of ocr-b only granted rights for non-commercial use; that + restriction is now lifted. + + 3. It is tested that the generated output is machine readable. + The tests are done with a 300 dpi laser engine. + + 4. As this work has been done with an early METAFONT version + and testing was the main purpose, there was no further + development in defining good points with respect to pixels etc. + Low resolution devices may give problems. + + 5. There are two main files: + + OCRBDEF MF 33454 12.11.86 11:02 + OCRBMAC MF 8152 8.09.89 19:51 + + The first one contains the path definitions for all the + characters, the second one contains the operating macros. + + 6. Driver files: + + The file OCRB10.MF is the main driver file for the + original OCR-B font, all other files contain variant + for illustrating purposes. + + OCRB10 MF 776 12.11.86 11:06 + + OCRB10S MF 774 12.11.86 11:06 sharp corners + OCRB10L MF 770 12.11.86 11:05 slanted + + OCRB10G MF 778 12.11.86 11:05 outline, slanted + OCRB10F MF 770 12.11.86 11:05 outline + + OCRB10E MF 784 12.11.86 11:04 negative, sharp corners + OCRB10X MF 777 12.11.86 11:06 negative + + some smaller sizes: + + OCRB5 MF 776 12.11.86 11:07 + OCRB6 MF 776 12.11.86 11:07 + OCRB7 MF 776 12.11.86 11:08 + OCRB8 MF 776 12.11.86 11:08 + OCRB9 MF 776 12.11.86 11:08 + |
