font change for capsule IVA speedometer

[joinedup]

sorry if it's already been mentioned - I did a search.

I dislike the current font being used for the speedometer in the IVA view (mk 1 pod)... quite a lot.

proportional spaced chars just look wrong for numeric displays IMO, I don't like the way the overall width changes depending on how wide the digits are.

It's also, I feel, out of sync with the rest of the aesthetics of the mk 1 pod.

I'd suggest fixed width 7 segment or (preferably) 16 segment style chars with leading zeros blanked - so that more width means more speed. If that's going to cause width problems with extreme speeds the K,M,G suffix system could be borrowed from the drum altimeter, I'm only a noob but is it ever going to be more useful to know that you're going 1234567 m/s than 1234 km/s?

I'm sure it's not the biggest problem out there but I feel better for getting it off my chest...

thanks for listening.
