The Ham Radio 'Slash Arial slash zero font' is merely a hacked version of the Windows Arial font, lacking its bold, italic and bold-italic forms. Consequently, as soon as the user applies bold and/or italic formatting, the slashed 0 will revert to a non-slashed 0. Not very helpful.

Moreover, installing it on the OP's system will do nothing for any other system the document is to be viewed on - they'll all resolutely display the plain 0 (unless you want everyone who might require the slashed 0 to install the font there, too). And what is anyone who installs this font then to do for everything else that doesn't require or shouldn't have a slashed 0?

PS: Kindly don't post the same thing multiple times. I have deleted your duplicate.
