Yes, except for one thing: the oblique stroke through the zero. That makes it 
almost indistinguishable from an 8, to my poor eyes (one acute myopia, the 
other even more acute astigmatism together with moderate myopia, and now both 
being destroyed slowly by glaucoma).

Some time ago I tried to find out where the VC font is defined, with a view to 
removing that oblique bar, but I ran out of steam before finding it. If anyone 
can shed any light on this I'd be grateful.

Oh, and Dale, so far I've come to like the Bitstream Vera Sans at size 14 for 
KMail text.
