Only your problem goes away, for many others not being able to quickly
tell them apart is a big problem.
Short answer: If *YOU* do not like this font, use another font!

Load of nonsense. The letter O and numeral 0 are *VERY* often used
together in sequences of characters where it could be one or the other,
especially on computers (command line parameters, product codes,
passwords, serial numbers [sic] that aren't always numbers), and it's
essential that you use the right one.
