Pretty much what topic says. I use KeePassDroid on my Nexus 7, and when i have to log into a Website on a PC and want to type in the PW on the PC, it's very hard to distinguish O and 0 because of the font that KeePassDroid uses.

Can we please get a different font, preferably one that uses slashed zeroes ? Or at least the option to change the font :-)

I agree, I had the very same problem just recently.
On my PC, I use KeePassPortable, but I was using my wife's computer and had trouble entering the correct password because it contained zeros and capital O's.

I'm bumping up this thread because I agree. It's making using the tool a real hassle.
 
The lower case Ls and number 1s are okay - I can distinguish between those. But Os and 0s are too similar.

Found issue 451 for this. You should all probably vote for it.

This was fixed for passwords in the database by having a dotted zero.

Would be nice to use it for database password entry, as well as other fields (user name, comments, custom ...), so that someone wondering what zeros look like might get a hint from an "obviously numeric" field - including the Modified & Accessed.

Is there a reason not to use this font consistently?

Even more helpful might be to display the "Il10O" (Capital-I, Lowercase-l, One, Zero, Capital-O) sequence on-screen.
