• In 2015, Bigelow and Holmes, at the request of Donald Knuth, made a super-elliptical O for the monospaced programming fonts Lucida Console and Lucida Grande Mono, to distinguish the big "oh" from "zero". They are called Lucida Console DK and Lucida Grande Mono DK. Read about it in Charles Bigelow's TUGBoat article from 2015, vol. 36, pp. 191-199, entitled "About the DK versions of Lucida".
