RE: need a font similar to Courier to use for code

Guy,

Try the Georgia font (serif), which you can download for free from
Microsoft.  The 1 and l look a bit different...perhaps enough for your
needs.

Have no sans serif font to recommend...sorry.

Subject: RE: need a font similar to Courier to use for code

If I use a sans serif for code samples, they look alike.  

If I use serif, the digit 1 and the lowercase L can also look
at least very similar.  

Can anyone suggest serif fonts that distinguish 1 from l
and sans serif fonts that distinguish I from l easily?
