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

[Jason Boyer]

It may also be possible to find (or build?) an image generator for several barcode symbologies so it’s just a matter of <img href=“server.org/barcode?num=1234&type=code39 <http://server.org/barcode?num=1234&type=code39>”> etc. Image support is certainly more widespread than web fonts and I don’t know what WOFF support is like for the old-ish Safari-related core that JavaFX uses.
