My first thought was that if it's extremely important, switch to a monospace font because they typically have a slash through the zero to distinguish it. Unfortunately, Courier New -- the most likely thing a PC user will see if you set font to 'monospace' -- doesn't do that :( Monaco, which is the default monospace font on Macs, does use a slashed zero, however, and so does Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which is coming to be the most common default monospace font under Linux. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
