The character 'I' and 'l' looks identical in Aile #1352

The character I and l is identical except an anchor. That will make google.com and googIe.com (and other similar strings) identical, and words with Ill (such as Illustrator) appears strange (like |||). Maybe this is not a bug, but I think there should be some differences between the two characters.

This is intentional, just like many other neo-Grotesque fonts. Differentiation is not a design goal for quasi-proportional. Resolve as by design.
