No distinction between lowercase L `l` and uppercase i `I` #47

There is not even a slight difference in the height of the letters, this can make it hard to read/funny to see in languages such as Italian where the world "il" ("the") is often at the beginning of a sentence, thus making it look like two vertical bars.

Although most people will be able to read it, it is preferable to have a terminal for the lowercase l l at least otherwise it does look funny and a bit unprofessional.

To fix this I would propose adding two more stylistic sets: one where the uppercase I I gets serifs (some people just like that), and one where lowercase l l get a small terminal at the bottom (look at IBM Plex Sans).

I'm sorry, most likely this won't be included in any future version.
