But I think that would only be good for YOUR computer,
which is fine if that's all you need it for. If you send a letter
to somebody in HTML (rich text) using this font, if they
don't have it on their computer as well, they'll get that
annoying large square in place of every slash-zero
you have.

Well, not really, because ALT-0216 is that same Nordic character in
almost every font, except in symbols. The problem is that it really does
not represent zero, so you can only use it for cosmetic purposes and any
logging program will throw up if you attempt to use it. There are fonts
available that display zero with a slash, though.

Doesn't even have to be HTML.

It worked on my computer, and I'm not even running the same operating
system. (I'm using Linux)

(unfortunately I can't *type* a slashed zero that way on Linux, but if
someone else types one I can read it)

Yep it shows on many others,

well, the error is probably on my end..... I would have to guess,
if so many others are getting a slashed zero. I'd like to
be able to generate one, that would really be great for
ham radio stuff on the computer.
