Isn't this okay for handwriting fonts though? In what contexts can this cause confusion?
from virgil.
I'm in the boat where all characters should be differentiable. I make that slash when I handwrite the 0's in my email address. Why not allow for usernames and IDs to be decipherable?
Otherwise, best use case I could come up with is pretty lame; H20 could be a type of submarine or it could be water. Depending on if that's an "oh" or a zero.

I agree. This is similar issue to 1
, and you could make the exact same argument as #20: "Digit 0 looks confusing without other digits next to it".

Hi, this looks interesting! Can I take this up?
from virgil.
I ovaled the zero a bit - question is is it sufficient?

It is subtle, but seems good enough. I'm curious if @anumithaapollo12 has any additional ideas.

For me it is very important that you can clearly distinguish all the characters. I learned that still in my youth, as a radio operator, when you listen to messages in groups of 5 in Morse code and write down the characters so that you can distinguish them clearly. For one thing, it was important to use a graphite pencil because it survives rain and water. On the other hand, the clear distinction between characters whose meaning is not obvious from the context in groups of 5.
- O vs 0 (the digit always with a diagonal crossbar)
- n vs u vs ΓΌ vs v vs r
- e vs l
- 1 vs t
- q vs g
- a vs d
- b vs 6
and some others.
That is why there was and still is an extra radio script that had to be learned. At least the German radio script is extremely well thought out, precisely with the goal of good distinguishability.
