    Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?

    Barcode fonts have been around for ages. But what's cute about this one is that it can calculate the EAN13 checksum on its own.

    Do not do this unless you do not have any other choice. Preferrably use whatever native barcode support of the printer involved, if it does not have that, just generate the barcode as vector image or bitmap with a resolution that is a integer fraction of the printers resolution. Generating correct Code128 as a SVG is about the same amount of work as generating the correct input for some sort of barcode font (the hard part is determining the switches between character sets, not generating bars from bytes).

    Damn, yes please.Another cool font, but less original, I stumbled upon recently is Marelle https://marelle.forge.apps.education.fr/ for cursive.

    This would be more interesting if you wouldn’t need to calculate checksums yourself, and could just write the barcode value. Good luck doing that with something like Reed-Solomon (QR, Data Matrix, etc.) or the shenanigans they’re doing with GS1 DataBar.

    ASCII only?

    This is a perversion of the most sickening nature. Nicely done!
