Re: slashed zero in HTML code listings?

[Laura Lemay <lemay -at- lauralemay -dot- com>]

People won't install fonts for you just to get code in help files to 
look like what you want.  I can pretty much guarantee that.

You could use Consolas, which is in Vista and Office 2007 on windows 
(and a free download).  It has the slashed 0 glyph, and its a well 
designed monospace font.  Depending on the platform for your product 
your users may already have it.
