    Use of monospaced font recommended for passphrases

    Some time ago, my younger sister had a problem connecting to her wireless network, which turned out to be interpreting a lower case L as an upper case I (or vice versa) because the font used for wireless network information was not monospaced.
    Technicolor uses a monospaced font (such as Courier or Consolas) for wireless network information and therefore other manufacturers should do the same including in the configruation menus.

    In wireless network configuration sheets I supply to my clients, I now use a monospaced font in certain fields.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    If you ask me monospace font should be standard for any kind of important text....

    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      I caught a scammer using "I" for letter L in a fake PayPal E-mail message!

      It was a phishing E-mail and I wouldn't fall for that!
