In the file library.c on line 615 we have the following code:
else
if (symbol->symbology == BARCODE_ITF14) {
symbol->whitespace_width = 20;
symbol->border_width = 8;
if (!(symbol->output_options & BARCODE_BOX)) {
symbol->output_options += BARCODE_BOX;
}
}
There is no possibility to use the barcode without the box, which I think is allowed by the standard. The box should perhaps only be activated by using the options?
Please use standard 2/5 if you want that. I suppose, the only difference is the box.
