[comp.sys.mac.misc] Font with Slashed Seven?

derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) (05/24/91)

Is there a font that has a slashed seven like the like to use
in Europe?  On a similar note, is there a font that has a 
slashed Z?

Side Note: The reason (I have heard) that Europeans slash
their sevens is that their ones look decidedly like un-slashed
sevens.  Here is what their ones look like:

 /|      --------   -------
/ |            /         /
  |           /       --/--
  |          /         /
  |         /         /

One       Seven    Slashed Seven

This is even more evident when the one is italicized
and handwriting usually is naturally italicized.

This also is the reason why I slash my z's, they look
like two's.

      /            /           /
   --             /         --/--
  /              /           /
 /              /           /
------         -------     -------
