    I've been burnt by the 0 and O. Took me days to find it. Finally I copied my code and pasted it into an email to someone I was asking for help from...the email program used a different font that displayed the 0 and O differently. That one is definately a bugger. But I like a fixed-width font when coding, and I don't know of one that is both fixed-width and distinguishes those characters nicely.

    There are such fonts, because I've seen lots of zeros with slashes through them to distinguish them from Ohs. I'll have to start a major search and add a page to my documentation about which fonts do what.
