0 and O look too alike about barlow

[jpt]

@espectalll Thanks for opening the issue -- I have thought about this problem as well. I don't want to add a middle dot (maybe as a stylistic alternate?) because there are probably a lot of users who wouldn't want it. The slightly-rounded letters are a solution I have considered. I'll keep the issue open, I'm not sure exactly when I'll have time for it but the plan is for a lot of work to go into Barlow this year :)

Another suggestion: add a dot in the middle of the zero character.

there are now binaries in the new branch with the stylistic set available https://github.com/jpt/barlow/tree/1.5/fonts

Never liked the dotted zeroes very much. Always preferred the slashed zeroes (more old-school computer-like, I guess).

the capitalized O slightly wider and/or rounded

Or the other way around, make the zero (0) more oval, less cylindrical.

I've added a zero with a slash as a stylistic set in 1.5 in the source here: https://github.com/jpt/barlow/tree/1.5

barlow probably has too many users to not annoy a lot of people if I change

I'll update this issue when the new font binaries are published
