In Windows XP - is there a way to change the number zero have a line thru it?

Question

Some data I am entering has a lot of the letter O and many number zero (0). It would be a lot easier to read if the zero had a line thru it. If there is a font that does this, I could just change fonts.

Answer 1

look thru your different fonts that you have and some may have at least a style that shows the o a little fatter than the 0
the letter capital O
the number zero 0

Answer 2

Numbers and Letters are still using ASCII. If you still have the code with a strike through zero, it should still work.

I looked into the Character Map (that comes with all Windows), but couldn't find a Strike through zero. Even with the International set up (which I use in the US) I couldn't find a strike through zero. But that may because I have too many fonts to try to find the correct code.

Answer 3

Yes. Click START, then RUN, and type CHARMAP

The character map will come up and you can locate the character you want. You'll see that at the bottom right, the keystroke necessary to make the character will appear. So, instead of changing fonts, you can just use the keystroke - or assign a hotkey to it. Sort of like this: ½ Ç ╚ º › and so on.

Answer 4

There is a font called "terminal" that has a slashed zero instead of the regular one.

Answer 5

Fixedsys, Sydnie, and WST-Engl also has a dashed zero.
Terminal is a system font, so you should have that one no matter what.
