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
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
