[OT] Yes, I like it. I'd like it even better if I could redefine the zero character without the central dot (which I believe is an American affectation) because the central dot makes the 0 resemble an 8 too closely. Instead I'd change the outline shape. Then Os and 0s would more resemble their usual printed and GUI forms. I know this wouldn't be possible on smaller sizes, but it should be possible at 11x22. In fact I did try doing that once with a font editor, but it couldn't handle the whole font set properly. Perhaps I should look into it again. [/OT] --->8 > The included patch is still imperfect.

Many thanks again, Alan. -- Regards, Peter.
