Hi everyone,
We're putting the finishing touches on the book I'm editing about the
telecentre movement before it goes to the graphic designer; if all goes
well we'll have it for distribution at WSIS in November. One thing we're
trying to figure out, though, is where to get our hands on bar code
software. We're going to have to put bar codes on the back of the book
so the ISBN number can be scanned automatically by distributors. This is
the first time we've been asked to put a bar code on the back of a book,
so we don't have software to do this. Is anyone aware of an open source
bar code publisher, or any other suggestions on how we can go about
doing this?
Andy,
Try http://www.gnu.org/software/barcode/barcode.html
I haven't used it, but it says it does ISBN (EAN13) bar codes. You
graphic designer should be able to use the Encapsulated PostScript output.
Regards,
Richard Siddall
