Hi Aaron,

After applying your fix, I've proof-read an Inkscape-generated EAN-13
barcode against the colored-background samples shown here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAN-13

and the bars are all correct :-)

I don't know how well it would work with a typical barcode scanner in a
store - I guess most people in the 'first world' have had that
experience where you get to the checkout and the barcode can't be
scanned by the machine. Happily, Inkscape prints the human-readable
number underneath the barcode, so it can be tapped in manually if
scanning fails.

Cheers!

Daniel
