Signal letters fonts

[DingoPD]

Would you folks please consider changing the font on the signals a bit? It is really hard to tell which one of them is zero, O or Q.

I think making the Q more pronounced, and strike thru zero would do it:

How about a monospaced font for the signals?

In vanilla you only see 1 character per signal button, would it make any difference ?

You are right, it doesn’t have to be a monospace font. But a lot of monospace fonts also have the property the OP is asking for: easy to distinguish letters.

Ahh, makes sense, other that Consolas in kitty, i don't really come in contact with monospace fonts. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Old topic I know, but wanted to link my mod here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rs-better-zero
It changes the zero signal (but currently not the Q signal) to be more different from the O signal.
EDIT: Now it changes the Q signal too

The modified zero is also known as the EDP zero. Since I grew up with MS-DOS & monospace fonts I'll write it that way by hand, too, not to confuse similar signs.
