I think Ubuntu Mono does a great job with unmistakable characters: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu+Mono?preview.text=!1lILjJT7toDO0Q2ZzsS56GB8&preview

  The lowercase 'l' as done in Ubuntu Mono (but it's not the only font doing that) is IMHO the best way to do lowercase 'l'. I'm not using Ubuntu Mono: I use a font I modified myself (sort of a mix between "Terminus" and "Monaco") and I do the lowercase 'l' as in Ubuntu Mono. I don't know which font did this type of lowercase 'l' first. I'm not surprised that a font doing a good job having unmistakable character picked that for 'l'. EDIT: funnily enough reading my post all the lowercase 'L' do look like an uppercase 'I'. Yup. Precisely what we want to avoid ; ) (that or looking like a '1' or like a pipe character).

    Funny, because the lowercase "L" was the first thing that came to mind about Ubuntu Mono for me :)

    I fully agree, but man, that upper-case G just looks naked. Even a small hook to the right would be a big help.

    Andalé mono had it in 1993. I have a feeling Monaco might have had it before but I have no proof. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andal%C3%A9_Mono https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andal%C3%A9_Mono
