Does the perfect Font exist?

Hi all,

I am looking for the perfect Font:

I must be able to distinguish between the number one (1), the capital "I" and the lower case "l".

The font must also contain the "Phase", the "Ohm" and the "Degree" symbol.

It must either be delivered with MicroStation V8i SS (next) or it must be a common True-Type font widely available in the windows environment.

I want to be able to use a single font to create text relating to electrical equipment labels as well as site plans.

Is this possible? Has anyone succeeded in finding this elusive Font?

If not...any idea's on how to achieve something close to this?

Can the Font 3 Engineering font be modified to add the symbols that I want?

Regards,

Bert

P.S. I am serious....I want it all in one font!!! Come on Bentley....you can do this!

    You've joined a club with many existing members, all searching for that elusive grail. According to this Wiki entry about fonts there are well in excess of 10,000 fonts in OpenType™ or TrueType™ format. OpenType™, by the way, is a newer development of TrueType™.

    ISO

    OpenType was adopted in 2009 by the ISO as the Open Font Format Specification (OFFS).

  • I'd like to see two modified duplicates of the TrueType Arial font.  The first would adjust the capital "i" such that it can be distinguished form the lower case "L".  The "1" (one) character already looks good.  The second would be a non-proportional version of the first.  At the very least I'd like to see just a non-proportion Arial font.  I currently use Lucida Console in charts and in certain types of call outs that contain numbers (like coordinates for instance), but that font looks a little clunky compared to Arial.  I've tried to place Arial such that it approximates a non-proportional font, but it gets funny gaps after certain characters, and the "space" character is inconsistently sized.
