Indeed 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.
