This minor release makes it easier to use an OCR B font for the "human-readable interpretation" in EAN-13 barcodes (#4).

Features

  • The \ean13:font setup command now also allows using a file name (\ean13:font[filename=...]), instead of only a font family name (\ean13:font[family=...]), so user can refer to a font file directly, rather than having to specify an (installed) font by name.
  • Matthew Skala's public domain OCR B font is now included in the distributed package, and set up for use by default. The font might be hard to get currently, as the official website seems very slow and sometimes unreachable, so this makes it easier for users to directly install the package without having to download and install anything else -- and immediately get nice EAN-13 barcodes in their books.
