* ABSTRACT:
* This font generates bar code symbols in accordance with "Code 39"
* developed by Intermec, and specified in ANSI Draft MH10.X-1981,
* entitled "Specifications For Bar Code Symbols On Transport Packages
* And Unit Loads".
*.
* Each bar code character is created with its equivelant text shown
* below.
*.
* SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
* The "*" character is not really an asterisk, but a unique bar code
* start and stop character which MUST be at the beginning and end of
* every line of bar code. Its purpose is to let the bar code reader
* determine if it is reading frontward or backward. The start/stop
* character is not sent from the reader to the device.
* For example, to code the part number "7-1234" and the phrase
* "SHEET 1" the note should be typed in as:
*.
* *7-1234*
* *SHEET 1*
*.
* Some experimenting may be needed to determine the optimum size for
* plotting bar codes. (We are using .50 inch with a Calcomp
* electrostatic plotter). Plot some single-character samples at
* various sizes and scrutinize them closely. If you have access to an
* optical comparitor, use it! If not, use a large magnifying glass.
* The codes are made up of four "elements": a wide line, a narrow
* line, a wide space, and a narrow space. The narrow elements (spaces
* & lines) should all be the same, and the wide elements should all
* be the same, and there should be sharp contrast between lines and
* spaces.
