On: Routed Gothic Font

[hlieberman]

For a newer font in this vein, I'd look at B612, a font designed in cooperation with Airbus specifically for visibility inside cockpits: https://github.com/polarsys/b612/blob/master/docs/B612-Leafl...

I'm also quite surprised that the symbols for "O" (capital O) and "0" (zero) are very similar, even in the monospace version of B612.

Cyphar, 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.

Very 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).

Yeah, very off topic, terribly sorry. My brain won't let me write 0's without strikethrough anymore.

...and for an older font, look at Futura and its variants --- whose users in aerospace included Boeing and NASA.

And 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.

Too bad the () and the [] look so much alike in the monospaced version.
