Having had the same problem to solve for myself I ended up to use:
Noto sans for all my GUI
Liberation Mono for coding

A lot of your criteria are rather subjective. For packaged fonts you
might look at "hack"
(https://source-foundry.github.io/Hack/font-specimen.html)
or "go"

Interesting point. Didn't pay much attention to these numerals, yet.

Of course, 'l' and 'I' was just the most prominent example.
Usually I look at 1lI|

What Herr Rönnquist said.
And given that I actually *do* set type with some regularity, I can say
from experience that, with the exception of some monospaced examples
that are only *nominally* sans-serif (e.g., Bitstream Swiss Monospaced),
sans-serif fonts in which uppercase I and lowercase l

I use BSD and Linux, and my eyesight sucks. For console work (23" monitor
that's about 2 feet away) I use an Xterm
For a proportional font, Verdana, Regular seems to come close with, it
seems to me, good differentiation between l, I, and 1. O and 0 are a
bit problematic as 0 is not dotted or slashed but is more of an ellipse.
On this GNOME desktop the interface is set to Cantarell, Regular, and

I concur on sans comments. You might take a look at the Free* fonts family
(Debian packages “fonts-freefont-ttf” and “fonts-freefont-otf”).

I am a XFCE user with a similar taste in fonts, but I have no need for

I am concerned primarily with the distinction between numeral 1 and
lower case L. And I loathe fonts in which the numerals 3, 5, 6, and 9
are not radically different.

Hi all,
I'm unsatisfied with the default sans font in debian for use in the
graphical user interface (in my case XFCE).
My main concern with the default sans font (I guess it's Bitsream Vera,
but that doesn't really matter) is the the small 'L' and the capital 'i'
look the same (mostly).
