Pro/E fonts: Zero vs O, One vs capital i

[qnen]

Hopefully this is an easy question. We are looking for a Pro/E font that makes a noticeable difference between the number 0 and the capital letter o, as well as between the number 1 and the capital i.

Thanks

We switched from 'font' to 'isofont' for that reason.

If you have a lot of symbols and tables, these will all need updated to your new font. Also drawing formats and templates.

Thanks Ben,
The isofonts does help with the one vs capital i issue. However I am still looking for a more definitive Zero vs "O" distinction. I was hoping one of the fonts would have a zero with a strike thru. Any ideas

We did not find a font with a slash through the zero.
I find the 0(zero) versus the O(oh) in isofont to be enough difference that it works. The O(oh) is more rectangular.

I made a drawing file with every letter/number/symbol in both fonts and sent a PDF copy to my users and managers for them to 'vote' on which font to use.

This attachment has been widely circulated on other Pro/E forums. Just replace the standard asci and latin_1 font files with the ones in the zip file. There are also a strike through font with the same mods.

They will do exactly what you want. The only downside is you will have to install them in every new release of Pro/E.

Thanks to everyone for the help. However there seemed to be an issue with the fonts not being "compiled" for our flavor of windows/pro. We ended up getting the 64 bit font compiler, setting some env variables, and then tweaking the the font's .src files to modify our existing font. Kind of a process: tweak the font's .src file, compile it to the .fnt file, move it to the correct spot, view it in Pro, get feedback, tweak the font, compile it, move it, view it, etc. The PTC website had some helpful info on this one. Nothing says fun afternoon more than 4 engineers trying to decide how long the slash in a zero should be.

Thanks again.
