Well Doug I've used a font called 'WINPACK' for many years. I use it because
it has a slashed zero. I've never had a log rejected by any contest
committee. I've received certificates from ARRL, CQ, & JIDX all the time
using the font called 'WINPACK'. The N1MM software has no problem
recognizing the slashed zero.
I just looked at the Cabrillo I submitted for NAQP and it has the slashed
zero font in it.
It works for me.........

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Slashed Zero Fonts: DO NOT DO THIS!!!!
While a slashed zero (Ø) may look pretty, logging software does not
recognize Ø as a zero.
Just as O looks like a 0, if you submit your log with noke instead of n0ke
(apologies to N0KE
for using his call as an example), you'll end up with a BAD call assignment.
In the very old days, lower case L was used as a 1 (when using a
typewriter). Nobody today
would log klar instead of k1ar. Equally, nobody should be logging noke
instead of n0ke, etc.
Forgo the appearance; use the correct letter/number when submitting your
logs.
