Hi, if there is no font with a slashed zero, why not modifying an existing one.
Look here for free fonts under GNU. The creator of these fonts allows modification. http://www.aimwell.org/Fonts/fonts.html A free font editor (FontForge) can be found here http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Matthias -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Font to show difference between 0 and O (11-Jan-2009 20:28) From: stephen barncard <[email protected]> To: [email protected] > in critical applications where numbers and letters are together, this has > always been a big annoyance and for that reason, I like the zeroes to be > REAL explicit, with a slash, so there is no question.
