Description
When attempting to generate CODE-39 barcode, I get an error on the A character. My barcode reader and a site generator agree that the A is incorrect.
CCP-1BA42B91
scans as
CCP-1B942B91
ABC-AABBCC
scans as
9BC-99BBCC
The A consistently seems to be encoded as a 9. I have no means of verifying that this is module or font specific. I am using arialbd.ttf (should I attach it in response?)

Yes, I verified this problem. Shouldn't have anything to do with your font file.
Must be a bug in the library the module uses to generate barcodes. No other characters have this problem... just 'A'.
I'll look into it a bit.

Here's a patch to the CVS HEAD branch

BTW, it looks like there might be other errors:

Not sure how well this php class is maintained and I know skyredwang is considering switching.
