no matter what new fonts come out and claim to be better, after trying them out, i almost always end up defaulting back to good old Georgia as my font of choice. not all these elements are in Georgia, but i believe that the perfect font would distinguish:
1. the number 0 (zero) from the letter O (oh)
2. the upper case I (eye) from the lower case l (el)
everything else is in the eye of the beholder.
lots of font sets distinguish upper case I (eye) from lower case l (el).
but few distinguishes 0 (zero) from O (oh).
and none i've encountered but Consolas does both of these.
but unfortunately, Consolas is a monospace font and just uses up too much space.
