There is usually a slashed zero in fonts designed to emulate old dot matrix
printers. There are several dot-matrix style true type fonts, including: "8
Pin Matrix," "SF Pixelate," and several others whose names I can't remember
offhand. Try Larabie Fonts and Shy Fonts, and various font archive sites.
Most fonts designed to look like a dot matrix printout have slashed zeroes.

I'm new to this discussion group. I am looking for TT fonts with numeric
0 with slash - for Win98.

I have found:
Terminal (old IBM font - not TT)
Arial italic (uses lower case letter o with slash)
Utilizing MS Word >> Insert >> Symbol: Ctrl + numeric 0 works
satisfactorily, but most fonts produce a wide zero with slash. I found
that Andale Mono produced the best looking slash zero.

I recall that I used an excellent slash zero font on my old Commodore
64, but evidently slash zero is out of favor these days.

Thanks for your help.

Look for VAGround.zip which has VAGround.ttf in it.
The url I have for it is now invalid.

vaground.zip 25,789 bytes

Freeware Font
The Vaground font is a Sans Serif Font very similar to "Arial Black"
and "Arial Rounded MT Bold" and is used quite freqently by Amateur
Radio Operators.
Its main feature is that it contains a slashed Zero that will be
recognized by spell checkers, which eliminates the need for using
character mapping and other alternate means of obtaining this effect.
