Description

Arial shows I and l as the same thing, and we have a lot of systems where we have to use both. Consolas is much better at those, tho I dunno how many people have it by default. Yet with Arial, I don't think Linux comes with it so what happens on mono?

Research direction

Inspect the tastudio font configuration and determine where its default font is selected. Compare a font that distinguishes I and l while considering availability on Linux and other supported systems; done means tastudio uses an agreed, readable default without relying on an unavailable font.
