But if you compare the white areas inside 0 in 55024 and the O in LO23, you will probably aggree that the area is clearly smaller in the 0.

You're misquoting here a little- that statement was Charlie A's; not mine. The way it's posted it looks like I said that. I already said that was because of that being part of the preprinted form. BUT- good to know about why the "O"s and "0"s look so much alike, due to fixed-width font. Thanks!
I agree with you completely.
