Re: Font to show difference between 0 and O
No, but the 0 and the O look different and also the other characters, which could be mixed up.

Re: Font to show difference between 0 and O
The Monaco font on Macs clearly shows the differences between a zero and the letter O and the number one and lower case L, etc. What would the equivalent font on Windows and/or Linux be? I was curious about this, so I just did a run though of all installed fonts on a Vista system and was surprised to find nothing that qualified. For the zero character, Consolas (not sure if this standard) was an option, but not a very good for one. When you see the characters next to each other you can kind of make out the difference, but apart I can see there being confusion. If you need the character distinction for registration/password entry, I believe the standard is to avoid mixing numbers and characters, at least in the same block of text. If you need the distinction for other reasons, you may need to research a 3rd party font an install it yourself.

Re: Font to show difference between 0 and O
I agree. I also found nothing. What a surprise. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: Font to show difference between 0 and O
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. Profont isn't really fancy, but is designed to be explicit. Free, open source Truetype. I haven't seen an installed font do this, except I have a vague memory of Courier having slashed zeroes at one point. SEE A SAMPLE HERE http://houseofcubes.com/coding/profont.png As far as mixed numbers and characters in passwords, it's actually advantageous for security to do that, just hard for people. 2009/1/11 Scott Rossi sc...@tactilemedia.com The Monaco font on Macs clearly shows the differences between a zero and the letter O and the number one and lower case L, etc. What would the equivalent font on Windows and/or Linux be?

Re-2: Font to show difference between 0 and O
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 stephenrevoluti...@barncard.com To: runrev260...@m-r-d.de 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.

Font to show difference between 0 and O
The Monaco font on Macs clearly shows the differences between a zero and the letter O and the number one and lower case L, etc. What would the equivalent font on Windows and/or Linux be? It doesn't have to be a monospaced font; just one that shows the characters unequivalently. Preferably the same font could be used for all platforms.
