And that might be fine if you see an l and a 1 next to each other and you want to know which is which. In the real world where you see one or the other and want to know which it is, this is really unhelpful.

- delackner 16y agoIndeed I have not yet seen a monospaced font that distinguished l (el) and 1 (one) meaningfully. Hell the font I am typing with in the compose field differs by perhaps one pixel.
- zb 16y agoWell, as you can see from the article, Menlo does. Monaco is also very similar in this respect. Even if you're not on a Mac it shouldn't be difficult to find one or two.
- delackner 16y agoWould have privately replied (as this thread is a bit old now) but no contact details so: On my iMac I find that Menlo has a very subtle fuzziness to its characters. Monaco (10pt) remains my setting for now. Despite being not very pretty, it is very crisp and the letters (aside from l and 1) are very distinct and legible.
