I usually use the string L|l1iI0Oo when checking out fonts.

The idea is there at the bottom of the character's tab, but separating the 1/l/O/0 doesn't provide a great comparison when "the whole point" is to see if you can tell the difference between those characters - ie, if the characters are 'well designed', the differences should be apparent/easy-to-spot. Since it is all done with screen shots, not the easiest\quickest PR, and this is basically a question of the core design of that tab, but perhaps food for thought? (Also, of course, regardless of format, I'd like to see my letter-I, |, and i comparisons along the 1s and ls)

addendum: (If not obvious, my suggested test string is capL, pipe-symbol, lowerL, 1, lowerI, capI, 0, capO, lowerO)

Agreed. I think the comparison should certainly include I (capital I) and | (pipe).

We have this change in place for new fonts:
https://coding-fonts.css-tricks.com/fonts/codelia/?language=charmap

I think we need to:

  1. Redo all other screenshots
  2. Force-clear the cache somehow. Either go into Cloudinary and delete the ones there that have been fetched already, or implement a file-name-change system and put like e?v=2 on the end of the image sources or something.
