Bug 542856 – media-fonts/font-misc-misc: introduce option to turn on slashed zero

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman 'gryf' Dobosz 2015-03-10 20:57:36 UTC]

I found this particular font to be very nice to work with. The only thing which is bad is the similarity between 0 (zero) and O (upper case 'o' letter).

This is a proposed patch for adding optional slashed-zero for every font included in the package for making the difference between O and 0 more distinctive.

For compatibility reasons (and maybe user preferences) there is additional flag introduced within the ebuild - "slashed-zero", which is disabled by default.

Reproducible: Always
