This information was developed by + + Norbert Schwarz + Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum + Rechenzentrum + Postfach 10 21 48 + D-4630 Bochum 1 + West Germany + + Internet: Norbert.Schwarz@rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de + + + 2. It is given to free non commercial use, but it may be + that there rights to the typeface stuff, as + the original typeface for OCR-B was developed by + Adam Frutiger. These rights may restrict the use, + I do not know. (In Germany there even exists an industrial + standard - DIN ????? - that describes the typefaces. + Based on such material the input has been developed.) + Therefore the only rights that I can grant are the + rights for the digitization in METAFONT input. + + 3. It is tested that the generated output is machine readable. + The tests are done with a 300 pixel 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 |
