[RTTY] "Slashed" Zeros vs. the number "Zero"

[Bill Turner]

I'm not sure when things changed, but they sure did.  Nowdays, the zero 
and the "O" are differentiated by their thickness.  A zero is skinny, an 
"O" is fat.  0O - which is which?

There is a True Type font called Andale Mono which has a slashed zero. 
If you don't have it laying around, email me offline and I'll see what I 
can do.
