+Some remarks to the METAFONT-Definitions for OCR-B fonts:
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 1. 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
