In the default font used by Outlook Express, displayed on my 1078x786 screen, the only difference I can see, using a magnifying glass on side-by-side characters (l1 = el-onel), is that 'el' is one pixel taller than the 'one'. The serifs appear the same, down to the anti-alias gray pixels. (To my surprise, this makes 'lbdk' a pixel taller than uppercase chars!) Now I know ;-). But 1 isolated from l is still difficult to distinguish. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
