Im mad.


At first only.

Actually, this is great news. You wont need to guess if its a 0 or a O, and stuff like that.

Plus i just hated them CAPLOCK TITLES IN EVE.

Its just a matter of adapting pictures for eg.

I hadn't thought about that. Definitely is going to make it easy to OCR when you can know for sure something is a number as opposed to a letter.

Yeah, i really hated that part. You had to use post treatment in order to guess if it was a 0 or a O. Easy enough when you want to read distances and stuff like that, but becomes a real pain when trying to read some random text anywhere else.
