As far as I know, the zero in FixedSys does have a / stroke... But due to the font small size and to avoid confusion with 8, they cut the strokw in the middle. Am I really wrong? 200.230.213.152 02:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Also.. How is it called in serif-related issues? It ain't really serifed, nor completely sans-serif... 200.230.213.152 02:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

It's sans-serif, as much as a small bitmap font can be. It does do the same tricks many monospaced sans fonts do with the 'i', 'j', 'l', and 'I' chars to avoid a sparse or unbalanced look, since the characters cannot be placed closer together as with a proportional font. —Random832 16:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Should we have an image instead of or as well as the text; for people without any of those fonts? -- Cowplopmorris^Talk_Contribs 09:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
