EAN-13 font made available by Fontpalace.com:
http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/EAN-13/
Notes: If the required EAN-13 TrueType font is not installed, you will be
prompted to download it.
Though the font name may suggest that the barcode conforms to the
EAN-13 standard, it does not! You have to validate the specified
text yourself to make sure it is a valid EAN-13 code.
Supported background and foreground colors are: Black, Blue *, Brown,
Cyan *, Gold, Gray *, Grey *, Green *, LightYellow, Magenta *,
Orange *, Pink, Red *, Silver, White, Yellow and YellowGreen (* means
Dark and Light variants are also supported, e.g. DarkBlue).
Return code ("errorlevel") equals the output image width in pixels,
or -1 in case of errors.
