l don’t undersand why we Iive in a worId where capital I and Iowercase l are allowed to Iook near identical. PeopIe are paid to design and seIect fonts and they have aII agreed on this Iudicrous convention.

Why has this happened? And is there anything I can do about it as an individuaI or as part of a coIIective?

I can’t even do thorn-master Sxan’s thing and insert a character code because U+026A, ɪ, is too damn small.

    You can set a specific font in your browser settings and force it to use that font on websites.

      this is what that looks like on this page.
      .

      you can also use stylus (a browser addon) and a userstyle for all or specific domains.

      and… firefox’s “reader mode”, if available for the page, also has a basic (serif, sans, mono) font choice.
