I use a crossbar with the 7, an upstroke with the 1, a plain I without
serifs (and without a dot), a distinctively smaller i with a dot, and an l
that has a hook to the right at the bottom.

Did I mention that I never understood how Courier (New) could become such a
standard in computing? Try to keep an l and a 1 apart in a normal reading
size on a normal screen in that font... :)

I don't think that this guy is part of a group that would qualify to call
this a "scheme" :)
