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.
