Re: "zero" or "oh" font ?

Use Narrator that will pronounce the word/digit so that you can understand
what it is.
To run Narrator:

1.Start-All programs-Accessories-Accessibility-Narrator

2.WinKey-U (You can close the Utility manager after that)

3.Start - Run -narrator

Thanks Byte for your response. I rated your answer as a Yes because you
answered my question accurately. Unfortunately I asked the question too
broadly.

My biggest problem is how Windows and most third-party software displays the
zero (0) and the oh (O). The font size is usually 10 or less and the
spacing is such that my extreme nearsightedness and astigmatism force me to
use a magnifying glass to differentiate them.

In Word, etc. I use a larger font (12+) and since I am actually typing the
characters I know what I'm entering; or if it is an imported document I can
increase the font size to compensate.

I already use large icons in my Windows Desktop - but the characters the OS
and most third-party software displays in various dialogs is small and often
not easy for me to read.

I have a 19" Viewsonic LCD and ATI Radeon X300 Series adapter- both new and
work very well in my system.

I believe there must be a workaround for this problem. I use XP Pro and
Office 2003 for most of my work,

Thanks

JamieS
