Might be time for a new font. I like Inconsolata, but l1I!
should never look similar, nor O0@ or S$.
I'll give a shout-out for Hack,ยน which I can't fault for use in
xterms. Comparing xterm -geometry 80x25+0+0 -fa hack -fs 16
with xterm -geometry 80x25+0+0 -fa inconsolata -fs 18
(to make the sizes roughly the same), I find the inconsolata
stroke width on the basic Roman alphabet is a little spindly.
I've been pretty happy with the Intel One Mono font lately, it seems to
incorporate the lessons learned from previous attempts at a highly
readable mono font and I find it extremely legible. There are complaints
about certain features being "ugly", but I'm well into a stage of life
where I care more about being able to easily read the text without
eyestrain than what it looks like on a sample sheet.
