i and l doesn't work together #18

Hi!

First of all, very good job! I was using Dejavu Sans Mono font until I discovered your repo!

I've realized coding for a while that I would get rid of the i top sticky, as you do in l

Using your font, have a look to this code

private int height;
private long club;

Doesn't it look weird?

Removing the lateral serif on i would certainly make it more consistent, but unfortunately more difficult to discern as well. I considered this in #16 and ultimately decided to keep the serif. After using the font extensively both before and after the change, I much prefer the clarity of the serif over the consistency of dropping it, and I hope you would agree.

I'm glad you like the font!
