Hard to tell letter 'O' and zero '0' for the font Noto Sans Mono CJK TC #116

Closed SuperdukeGates closed 6 years ago

SuperdukeGates commented 6 years ago

I'm using the font "Noto Sans Mono CJK TC".

Without placing the 'O' and '0' characters side by side, it's hard to tell between them especially when the font size >= 14.

Could we have the '0' (zero) a middle dot or a slash ?

Thank you very much.

This is a duplicate of #73, and for the reasons that are clearly described in that issue, this duplicate issue can be closed.

Okay, I know the reasons. But I still feel a little pity for this.

The Noto Sans Mono CJK series fonts are very nice and also for coding since they can easily tell 'I', '1', 'l'. However, they can't easily tell 'O' and '0', so pity, considering coding programs with CJK strings inside.

I'm now closing this issue anyway.
