I'm using gLabels to create some small pieces of paper to give away to people - Just two lines of about 15-20 characters each. One of the important parts of the design is that there are no "o" ("oh") characters, but there are "0" ("zero") characters in an all-lowercase URL. Therefore I need a non-monospaced (and very legible in print) font where "0" cannot be confused with "o" even without reference.
The closest thing I've found so far is Andale Mono and Inconsolata , but they are both monospace, and as such not very easy to read in print.
Alternatively, to find a font myself, is there some way to preview all fonts in the Ubuntu repositories without installing them?
