A compiler or a spreadsheet gets mighty unhappy if humans typed Ohs instead of zeros, so making Oh different from zero in fonts is an absolute necessity. In the particular case of monospace fonts, since you can't play with the glyph width, that means adding something to zero to make it different from Oh. The current convention is to put a point in the middle of the ellipse, and it's by no way a dejavu/vera particularism. If you don't like it you can always use the non-monospace variant which uses the glyph width to distinguish 0 and O. If you take the time to accustom yourself to DejaVu Sans Mono and train your eyes I'm sure you'll realise 0 and 8 are actually different with this font. Methinks you only confuse them because you don't expect anything in the middle of zeros. Regard, -- Nicolas Mailhot
