Dear fop-dev, I'm the author of the AFPRenderer at http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/ which was ported across to fop-0.93 by Manuel Mall. It's great to see if emerge in the 0.93 release thanks for everyone's effort in getting this out and for including the AFP renderer.
I have been working on an enhancement to support the AFP BCOCA (BarCodeObjectContentArchitecture) and wanted to gauge your opinion on whether I can get this patch applied to the development, it's a few weeks off completion at the moment. I'm aware that Barcode4J provide very good barcode support, however the project I'm working on involves very high volume outsourced printing and hence even the overhead of a 6kb image means that this would not be feasible. For background, AFP is a very efficient print stream format. Static resources (fonts, overlays, etc.) are only transmitted once, with the result that a full page of text can be typically about 1-2K kb. The advantage of using BCOCA is that the barcode is transmitted as very small dataset.
