OCR B font missing

[rolfmblindgren]

I can't find the source file that calls the OCR B font. I have OCR B Std, but not OCR B.

The "OCR B" font referred to in the documentation (mentioned on the main README) and used by default is from https://tsukurimashou.osdn.jp/ocr.php.en

Would you want to use another font, then as explained in the documentation, you may use the following command in your document:

\ean13:font[family=⟨family⟩]

"OCR B Std", if I remember correctly, is the name of the Adobe font (perhaps clear now for non-free use? I haven't checked recently). I don't have it installed, but I guess, if it has indeed this name, that the following should work.

\ean13:font[family=OCR B Std]

I am still working on improving the documentation, but I thought this part to be quite okay by now - If there's anything I could still improve there, comments are welcome!

(By the way, I guess that this issue/question could or should rather have been reported to the barcode.sile repository. Well no problem anyway.)

@rolfmblindgren By the way, I have opened the "discussions" section (I thought I had done it, actually) and moved your issue there.

For any potential future reader:
For convenience, Skala's OCR B font is now bundled in the barcodes.sile dependency (since v1.1.0), so users don't have to go through the trouble of finding it and installing it. It works out of the box.
Of course, the other discussions above regarding on how to use another font instead, would you wish to do so, are still valid.
