Getting Comfortable With The Basics

Font With Slashed Zero Numbers

For some printouts, it may be beneficial to use a font that has a zero with a slash through it rather than the standard zero without a slash. This is called a “slashed zero”.

There are several such fonts already installed in Google Docs. They are Consolas, Inconsolata, Roboto Mono, and Share Tech Mono fonts. You’ll need to experiment with whatever font you select to see what looks best for your document.
