OT - cross platform zero slashed font

[Richmond]

If you go and dig round the Unicode consortium's pig's-breakfast of 
interlinked sites and webpages
which have obviously been designed to obfuscate rather than clarify one 
finds that the slashed
zero has been proposed several times over the last few years, and 
rejected repeatedly because it means different things in different places.

This is, of course, a load of old sausages because, for instantce, 'H' 
is used for the sound /h/ in
many languages that use variants of the Latin alphabet, while it 
represents an /e/ in Greek and an /n/
in languages that use variant of the Cyrillic alphabet.

So, for some odd reason, which is not exactly "coming to the surface" 
people in the Unicode
consortium obviously have an antithesis to including a slashed zero.

Attempting a "fudge" [i.e. a 'normal' zero (Hex 30) followed by a slash 
(Hex 338)] results in a mess
that differs with how much the slash overlaps the zero depending on 
which font one is using.
