Better Star Map Font

[Greasetrap42]

A better star map font would be appreciated.

Current font issues:
Zero and letter O - look identical.
Zero and letter D - look very similar, easily mistaken, especially in the smaller font size.
One and letter I - One is unique, but gotta think about letter I.

Star map is an exploration basic. Easy readability should be too.

On the surface seems trivial, but over time very annoying. Especially as we can't copy/paste text from the star maps. And should be easy to fix. I can just imagine the administrative mistakes that are regularly made in the ED universe.

They all look different to me, 0 and O are quite distinctive, 0 and D are clearly distinctive, and who said you couldn't copy and paste to star maps, well not to the map itself of course but to the nav panel.

You can paste text into the star map navigation entry field. But you can't copy/paste text from the star map (for later use or entry into another app).

So if i manually type the name from this star map there is a good chance I will misinterpret numbers and letters.

Note: I noticed if I click on the first tab of the star map (general info tab) it gives me the star name in lower case letters. Very interesting, it looks like someone at FDev noticed the font issue issue and maybe snuck in a mini solution. Too bad this is on the general tab instead of the useful navigation tab.

True, however you can run EDDiscovery in the background which keeps track of these details and copy and paste from that, which is what I usually do.
