[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Scannable barcode font in web client receipts

[Mike Rylander]

Hi Lindsay,

There are a few variations on Code-39 and Code-128 WOFF font families
that we could use.  I'm not sure of the process for embedding them in
Evergreen OTTOMH, but once included it should just be a matter of CSS
to make use of them -- though hatch-based printing may cause some
problems, I'm not sure.  I think a launchpad wishlist bug is in order!

Thanks,
