I used the letters from WC2010 Brazil AI but changed letter G since it is
different based on the image available at www.switchimageproject.com I do
not know if the G in Brazil is a mistake on Azmie's part or it is really
like that.
It is hard to tell how the corners of the numbers were done based on the low
res image from Azmie's site but I made all corners sharp. It looks like some
corners are rounded but it is really hard to tell.
There are two sets in the Netherlands font - as designed and plain. The
as designed numbers are accessed through the number keys while the plain
numbers through SHIFT+number keys.
BTW I misinterpreted Azmie's Brazil AI. I was looking at the outline rather
than image. I mistook Azmie's technique to hide potions of the circles that
extend into the solid color portions as part of the design. The Brazil
numerals should look something like those in Netherlands.

This is version 2 of Azmie WC2010 Netherlands.
I reworked everything, both numbers and alphabets, based on the AI file
posted by Bruce Wayne the other day. I tried to be faittful to what's in the
AI but have to move things a bit for uniformity's sake. The Netherlands AI
that Bruce Wayne posted is a lot better than the Brazil AI I got from Azmie.
The "dotted" numbers are accessed through the SHIFT + number keys. The
number keys will display the plain numbers. I have to hide the dotted
numbers as this will cause the display in Windows' default font viewer to
become sluggish or, at worst, crash Windows on opening of the font.
The font is in True Type and Type 1. I cannot generate an OTF because
Fontlab seems to go into an endless loop whenever I attempt to gnerate the
OTF. I will see if I can generate one at work tomorrow.
I will redo Slovenia next.
