Can't distinguish 1 from l

I just started to use Windows 10 haha.
Of course, there are countless annoying problems with the OS, but recently Notepad++ is giving me headache… I can’t distinguish 1 from l (Alt+49 from Alt+108). Is this a Notepad++ setting or another annoying Windows 10 problem where we should reinvent the wheel again?

Choose a different font? One that has a nice contrast for 1 and l ? While you are at it make sure it contrasts 0 and O well too…

You should try the Consolas font, if you have it available on your system and if a mono-spaced is sufficient for your needs.
