I knew a guy who actually could. Last I saw he was being taken away in a Black SUV by men in suits wearing sun glasses. That was 12 years ago.

I think that one is **slightly** taller than the other, just a tiny bit 😅

You know, in battlefield1 there were cheaters using name like this so they don’t get reported to BFEAC(because it’s hard for reporters to type their names)

Lowercase letters that are as tall as capital letters are actually a bit taller
So capitalize are shorter

I have a suggestion why cant we add a little inclined line at the top of l (nvm its l not I)

I firmly believe this is due to marketers using “sans serif” fonts and somehow getting the rest of the world to believe that these “clean,” variable-width fonts are somehow “classier” or “more luxurious” than serif, fixed-width fonts.
If you check out Ubuntu Mono, Courier New, or even the variable-width Times New Roman, the “i” and “l” are much more easily distinguished.
I have this exact same rant about 0 (zero) and O (capital o) on shitty fonts. Heck, variable-width sans serif fonts can even make 1 (one), I (capital i), and l (lowercase L) difficult to tell apart.
Who knew that the Serifs were created on fonts to solve this exact problem?

the i is slightly shorter i think
duckyTheFirst on
Actually my phones font makes the capital i just slightly (like 1 or 2 pixels) smaller than the lowercase l. Which is impossible to tell unless theyre next to each other. So idk why they even bothered

Sometimes, the smallest differences can cause the biggest confusion and this is definitely a case of who’s who

Would be fucked if you swapped them around so it said a capital i is l.

Al vs AI
LucrenCrum25 on
Capital i is shorter than lowercase L (yes, I typed them as the opposite so you know which I’m talking about)
Delicious-Account103 on
Maybe you should use Turkish alphabet for capital i –> İ
