It includes specialized fonts for information labels, control labels (for key tops), large print publications, computer systems, television subtitling, and signs. The PCfont family is specialized for people with poor vision to use on PC screens using large characters. The only difference between the PCfont and the PCfont Z families is whether the zero is crossed out or not. In the PCfont family, the zero is _not_ crossed out, which may lead to some confusion.
