- Igelau 7y agoToo bad the () and the [] look so much alike in the monospaced version.
- userbinator 7y ago...and for an older font, look at Futura and its variants --- whose users in aerospace included Boeing and NASA.
- mhd 7y agoAnd which might be known for a few as the main body font of the AD&D first edition books -- not the best use case for it.
- cyphar 7y agoI'm also quite surprised that the symbols for "O" (capital O) and "0" (zero) are very similar, even in the monospace version of B612.
- randomcarbloke 7y agoCyphar, two years ago you posted: "Well, there is a port of glibc to UEFI, so one could very easily "boot into Emacs". Strangely I've not seen anyone do this." Can you hook me up with that link :) Cheers.
- FullyFunctional 7y agoVery off-topic but hilarious. Back to topic: inability to distinguish O and 0 seems pretty terrifying for avionics. Related, I love SF Mono, but it's so hard to read 0000080 in small fonts (try it).
- randomcarbloke 7y agoYeah, very off topic, terribly sorry. My brain won't let me write 0's without strikethrough anymore.
