The font was designed by Spranq, the Utrecht-based marketing and communication company, which struck on a Swiss-cheese design after failures with the earlier experiments using thin letters and partial letters - like the stripes of a zebra.

Company co-founder Gerjon Zomer said, "It turns out that it's necessary to preserve the size and outline of the letters to keep them readable."

Taipei  - President Ma Ying-jeou said Wednesday he does not rule out holding peace talks with China, but stressed that Taiwan must boost its defences in any event.

Ma made the statement after supervising a military drill in Pingtung County, east Taiwan, the first war game he has watched since taking office on May 20.

A total of 1,686 troops took part in the live-fire drill, which simulated Taiwan troops smashing enemy attempts to make an amphibious landing on Taiwan's coast.

Dozens of F-16 fighter jets, OH-58D helicopters and AH-1W attack helicopters took part in the drill.

"Holding this drill shows that despite improving cross-strait ties, our combat readiness has not slackened," Ma said.
