It is, but the application needs to allow you to select it. There are a few different types of font formats in Windows, and some applications, to my annoyance as well, do not let you select from every type. When I encountered this problem with TB, I found the best alternative to my usual font was Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. I use it at 10pt for viewing source, and 12pt for editing. This is a monospaced font that looks like a variable-width sans-serif font (Trebuchet/Tahoma-ish). It also uses a "dot-zero", which is similar to a "slash-zero". http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ Elsewhere, I use Raize and that implements a "slash-zero". I would use it in TB if allowed. I consider this a TB bug, but no one seems to care much. http://www.raize.com/DevTools/Tools/RzFont.htm > I saw (in a tiny texst editor program) that it *does* display a slash > zero on screen *BUT* it still seems to print a standard zero. The font used for printing is, often configurably, different from the font used for display on screen. The application should allow you to select a font for display and a font for printing, or at the very least use the same for printing that it uses for display. UltraEdit allow this configurability iirc, though I must say I explicitly avoid owning a printer and encumber myself for this strange ideal. I'd say your least annoying and most practical option is to find a truetype/opentype format font which implements the slash zero you seek. -- kaishaku.reply-to = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
