@delfuego@me.dm @KimSJ@mastodon.social @Elucidating@mastodon.social It doesn't put a bar in the 0 for zero, but it makes it quite narrow and the O wider and rounder. Putting a bar in the zero causes problems of its own, particularly for people whose native languages use the Ø glyph.

@CliftonR@wandering.shop @delfuego@me.dm @KimSJ@mastodon.social @Elucidating@mastodon.social Source Code Pro solves this by adding a dot in the middle of the 0.

@CliftonR@wandering.shop @delfuego@me.dm @KimSJ@mastodon.social @Elucidating@mastodon.social Except it doesn't appear to include _any_ accented characters or diacritics, which may be fine for aeroplane displays but not for much else.

@CliftonR@wandering.shop @delfuego@me.dm @KimSJ@mastodon.social @Elucidating@mastodon.social It's subtly worse; there's a slashed zero Unicode code point, and the font has an optional slashed zero, but it's not at the slashed zero code point. Inexplicably, the optional slashed zero is in the private use area. This makes it arbitrarily inaccessible using OpenType features. https://github.com/polarsys/b612/issues/24
