How are they planning to deal with the I-l issue? Hope that it never comes up?

My browser renders this in sans serif, but adds serifs to I. I'm on firefox/linux and it's defaulting to the css `sans-serif` and I don't have the energy to research how to find what that defaults to right now.

  Dev tools → Inspector panel → Fonts subpanel → Fonts Used, and you can hover over each to see highlighted which glyphs are being rendered in that font.

    Turns out it's Noto Sans Regular, and not DejaVu as another commenter thought!

  I would imagine that it isn't changing font for the l specifically but just has a sans font that includes a tail on the l. This text box that I'm using, for instance, is Dejavu Sans Mono which does exactly that.

  Defaults on Firefox are all from DejaVu family: https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/ https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/ Mozilla has a custom font for their branding called Zilla Slab, but I believe that's only serif.

    This is incorrect. Firefox does ship an emoji font, but for the rest it delegates default-selection to fontconfig, and it’s likely to have a very long list of possibilities, depending on its configuration (see /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default for a start) and what’s installed. Run `fc-match --all sans-serif` to see how it resolves. On my machine, Noto Sans gets higher priority than DejaVu Sans (though I’ve configured Concourse 4 as the top preference, in ~/.config/fontconfig).

  Yes, but this isn't all that helpful with printed documents.

This is part of why some important government reports still use all caps. It's also a leftover from the telegraph era.

  Why are you yelling at me?
