Fonts can be a bit of a pain when you don't know what text to expect (digit one, lowercase l, uppercase I can sometimes look alike, also digit zero and capital O). I suggest that you find a better font for your *host* system's browser. I'll assume you are doing this in Xorg. First, look at your browser's setup to find which font(s) you are using. Then look for alternatives which are provided by your distro. You might even have them already installed. You probably need to look at both monospace and sans serif fonts. A good place to begin is probably DejaVu. GNU Freefont should also be good, but perhaps not bold enough. I think you said you were using ubuntu - the ubuntu fonts do distinguish l and 1. I have PDF examples of how fonts look when used for text - my interest is in getting good language coverage, but the language examples should have enough English text to give a feel for how the font looks. If you are interested, see http://zarniwhoop.uk/ttf-otf-notes.html The PDFs in the 'Langs' links show how the font appears (provided it covers English text). I mostly use firefox as my main browser, that can be set to open PDFs itself. At this stage, if you need to add fonts to your host system then search for fonts provided by your distro. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
