The l looks too much like a 1. This is a big no-no on fonts to be used for programming. (As is making sure 0 and O are distinct.) Also, angle brackets look too

The l looks too much like a 1. This is a big no-no on fonts to be used for programming. (As is making sure 0 and O are distinct.)
Also, angle brackets look too similar to parentheses -- <> (). Here's some source code that would look terrible in this font:
(if (< item x)
(<< lessx item)
(<< gex item)))

- cabalamat 16y agoThat's curious. The angle brackets on this png are fine, unlike on the examples on the original page. I've just downloaded Mensch, and on my box too the angle brackets are fine, with an angle between the lines of about 55 degrees, as opposed to about 85 degrees on the original page; so it would appear the downloadable font is different from that described no the page.
