    Verdana.

    The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn’t a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.

    Letters aren’t meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.

    If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!

    Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.

      You wouldn’t want mono space in languages where indentation matters?

        Nope, indentation is still the same.

        For example eight spaces are going to be twice as big as four spaces in just about any font, and Verdana still accodomodates well to this with its wide spaces.
