Well, on the first machine I had that used a Courier-type font, you
typed the lower-case-letter-L for the numeral 1 and you typed

I suppose that might be "Courier Old" :-).

That would be Courier New if you didn't touch the defaults. I haven't
either, and I do agree that l and 1 are barely distinguishable.
They look pretty distinct to me (X11, font is Vera Sans Mono). By
"modern displays" what exactly do you mean?
My font is the delault windows netscape mail-reader font.
