Different font for password display

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Display any password which contains a 0 or an O
2. Try to distinguish between both

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The output is correct, but the font used makes it hard to distinguish between O 
and 0. A fixed size font would also be helpful.

+1 from me!

The 0 and O are hard to distinguish, but its possible with the new Android font.

But to distinguish l from I it is impossible!
The look completely the same!

Please change the font for password display from sans-serif to monospace or 
provide a option in the setting where someone can change the font.

Medium priority is a little low for that simple to correct issue.

Not just 0 and O -- I and l are also indistinguishable.

As this ABSOLUTE simple to fix bug isn't fixed since March 24th, 2011 I think 
this project isnt actively maintained - its time for a fork or a complete 
rewrite, hmm?

Android doesn't provide a lot of font's to chose from. In 1.9.18, I switched 
all passwords to the monospace typeface. On my phones I can tell the difference 
between most characters. 1, l and I are pretty clear, but O 0 is still pretty 
subtle.
