I argue that when presented with 9 normal looking numbers, the o is not an acceptable alternative to 0

So many fonts just do whatever to be different and stand out from the crowd, but all it does is making it easier to avoid them

It just looks like a lowercase 0. Lowercase digits often look better anyway.

Look up lowercase digits in your typography manual and be enlightened. And also start making nicer documents.
