Well, I could rotate my display 180 easily enough - but I'm not Russian
so upside reading isn't exactly second nature! :)
I think one solution is going to be to look for a better font to use;
one that's more readable or something that sports a real time spelling
dic. Verdana helped a little to see that sort of thing but I think there
are better ones. I'd like one that slashes zero, makes I and L and l
easily distinguishable and perhaps a little wider spacing. Verdana is a
start, but it doesn't do well with lower case letters; thus the need for
a wider letter spacing.
I sort of dread going thru the zillions of fonts available, but ...
it might be worth the trouble.
Sorry; didn't mean to wax philosophical there!
See ya 'round!
