Comments: Built under Core version 4.2 from 628fb0b7a60ae714f00949e32f56b694 ocr.zip available on Original-site In 1968, American Type Founders produced OCR-A, one of the first optical character recognition typefaces to meet the criteria set by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. The result was a font made up of simple, thick strokes to form recognizable characters that could be deciphered by the computers of that day and by humans. Specified by ANSI standard X3.17-1977, approved January 20, 1977, and now available as ISO 1073-1:1976. The present version by Matthew Skala is newly derived in 2011 from the Wales version (in the Metafont form available at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ocr-a), and obsoletes an earlier 2006 version from the same author. Not every additional ASCII glyph is supplied: notably, ^ and ~ are missing. Change-log: ---- Current: 2012/02/10 First Version
