Interesting. I know this thing about font preferences, and every now and
then I try some out to see if I like them better. Much more often than not
I go back to what I had before :)

OTOH, I don't think that e.g. your preferred Arial with some (quite minor)
changes to make the problem characters more easily distinguishable would be
more difficult to read. This font might be difficult to find, though... (I
don't know how involved it would be to make those changes and create a
derived font.)
