Font in menu's and launcher

Num 47

It could be a placeholder, Roman Numerals... I don't mind them myself but if font change is needed then it's needed I guess. :-) Same as ~~#71~~

If it is roman numerals then why is everything else normal?

Seems silly to me and looks wierd. Can't copy the text from any menu or launcher to paste it in word to see if it is the font itself looking like an 'I' or it's actually a roman numeral.

It's part of the font itself. I'm indifferent about the 1 although I can definitely see your point. I think however that Joe really likes it. What do you think to the font overall?

After looking at some fonts, it looks like Joe has gone with a typewriter font... I guess if Joe likes that font it can still be used but just a different one..

I'll attach 2 font styles, one that is what I imagine the style Joe picked and another that could take its place...

This is the style I think Joe went for.

Could be changed to something like this.

If you look at old_typewriter font the 1 and I look pretty much exactly the same.

I like the font in general but having 2 characters pretty much identical looks 'off' imo

Definately prefer the 1 from the rusty_typewriter font better.

Can you take the 1 out of the Rusty font set and replace the old font set

Gary, that font is like that because original typewriters didnt have a unique "1" key, they used the I for the 1 in those days because space was so limited on early typewriters.

Not a bug or a complaint really just pointing it out. Just my thoughts that something that gets added in later might look confusing if II is actually 1i or i1
