Ø How to make them for call signs
Google to the rescue for Ø

Ø How to make them for call signs
The font Andale Mono has a great slashed zero, use it in all my ham radio

Fixedsys also offers a slashed zero, though the representation is better, in Termainal font. Bryan WA7PRC |

However, what I really need is a symbol for the letter 'O'. I have problems with my callsign, and, as I use my callsign in my e-mail address, I suspect that a lot of the time I fail to receive mails intended for me. At least one professional organisation has it as 'g30ohx'. Despite occasional repeated requests to correct it, it remains the same. Ian. -- |

Ø How to make them for call signs
Hi guy's,
This is a well known problem and unfortunately a presentation problem (i.e. font problem). Why would I like to change font? Because; In a presentation, e.g. mail or log application, it is almost impossible to differentiate between e.g. SO2R and S02R (Sierra Oscar Two Romeo = Poland and Sierra Zero Two Romeo = West Sahara). This can be fixed by typing a different character (e.g. the scandinavian vowel Ø), the slashed zero, but that will mess up export files (ADIF etc.) because it uses a different ASCII code (hexadecimal value). To create the slashed zero you can press and hold ALT while typing 0216, but it will create a different hexadecimal value for that character and mess upp exports and ADIF files. There is anonter way to fix this (mainly screen/print problem) and that is to use adifferent font where the display bitmap is showing the slashed zero for the normal zero ASCII value. There are some useful, ham radio designed, alternative fonts that would give you; SO2R and SØ2R as a result without changing the value of the character, e.g. Anadale Mono (mono spaced font, I'm using Anadale Mono in my DX-cluster window, it's just great...) and Ham (looks like Arial). You can find these fonts and a lot of other Ham fonts if you look at http://www.k8zt.com/zero.html. But to be able to fix this, it must be possible to set the font in the application you use. Either as a default for all windows within the application or window by window (I prefer the first alternative). Yes, you can change the default for Windows, but you probably don't want this to be changed for "all" your applications.

If it doesn't work with "System" font, I don't know what to tell you. (Notice there's no ALT + # code for Ø, even with System). -Mindraker |
